wich one of these performs better? (I'm about to buy MSI one): MSI R9 280 Gaming 3G 384-Bit GDDR5 or Regular R9 280X 3GB or Regular GTX 760 2GB? and what are advantages/disadvantages of them? (and last question will 750W Psu be enough for any of them?)

I'd go with the r9 280x and anyone of those cards will run on a decent 750 w psu. I do have a particular dislike for msi cards though got a couple of bad 280x's and ended up returning and exchanging for HIS ones instead.

Probably nothing but I had bad luck and i'm superstitious :) . I got 2 at the same time must have been a bad lot they wouldn't even post video for me at all. Never seen anything else mentioned about them so should be ok.

Go for the R9 280x
750W is an unnecessary overkill, as gpus are getting more efficent
Go for a 600w one, my r9 280x runs fine on my Corsair cx600
