Hey guys this is my new build I am hoping to purchase soon! I hope to be playing games such as DayZ, Arma 3, COD AW and Battlefield 4!

I was wondering however if there is any significant difference between the ASUS R9 290X 4GB Card or the XFX R9 290X 4GB Double Dissipation Card?
I am currently going for the XFX purely because I think it looks great despite the ASUS being red and possibly complimenting my colour scheme slightly more but if the ASUS is MUCH better I would be willing to switch cards. So which is the better card for this build guys? All answers are greatly appreciated and opinions on the build! :D

Solution
the Asus card's direct CU II was rather poor at cooling AMD cards as it appears it was built for nvidia cards. the XFX card will run cooler. but, you wont get a fancy back pate.

BAM SOLUTION FOUND! :D The XFX looks better anyways even without the backplate which you won't really see anyways, you'll be too distracted by the NZXT light show in there, thank you Sir :)
