What card should I get. The PowerColor is a monster but It should fit my case and it's only $239.99 after MIR. The MSI card is smaller a little faster runs hotter and is $20 more after MIR. Just wanted to see what you guy/girls think. I'll lest the card below with my case.

the powercolor pcs 290 should run a bit better than the msi version it is a little better on paper and i use a powercolor 290 and love it so i suggest geting that due to it being fsater cheaper and runs less heated hope this helped

I was looking at the same ones and I was gonna get the MSI one, but if the other one is actually better I will of course get that one. How come the powercolor is cheaper even though its better? what makes it better?
