I had my heart.... SET on the EVGA ftw edition.... i wish it were as good as i wanted to believe but i found a better card... I then looked into the R9 270... then the 270x is better than the 270 but then the MSI R9 280 is better than all the ones i mentioned and the price point isn't far off.

There are a lot of people that are making R9's Sapphire, HIS, MSI, I went with MSI since their mobo's have a "VGA Boost" technology when it's MSI MOBO and MSI GPU, i recommend looking at some videos of the GPU's, and even motherboards if your gonna use one or the other. A good thing to do that i've done a lot is go to the Manufacture's page of the product your looking at which will show you some more features than what Newegg or other sites would list.
