Hi, I need to know which is the best GPU that I can get with a budget around the 200 euros, the maybe the Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Vapor-X OC 3GB, MSI Radeon R9 280 Gaming 3072MB GDDR5 or something else. Which would also be a good PSU for the respective GPU, maybe a XFX 550W 80+ Bronze.
Thanks.
 
Solution
XFX Pro Series 550W Core Edition is a good psu

the VS650W is a good psu but i think the capacitors are cheap not sure tho i would leave that to someone who knows more about PSU's

the R9 280X is a 7970

the R9 280 non X is a 7950

7970>7950

new R9 280Xs have the thaiti TXT core which consumes less power so a 550W quality psu will get the job done if u have a intel CPU which dosnt consume much power

also the R9 280X vapor-x can be ran at minimum Fan speed and still have Cool temps the card is insane imo the cooling is overkill
