a 960 is 15% slower than a 280x . 280x has much more overclocking power, bus bandwith and headroom power for cf

Oh I've never seen that. I heard you would only buy the X version if you're planning to OC it, but I don't plan on doing that. And is gigabyte a good brand?

But an R9 280x costs more around 300 I think with little improvement in performance. It's not worth to spend more for less performance increase. For that buck, an R9 280 or GTX 960 seems a much better choice.
