Hi guys, i'm kinda confused on what GPU to buy, i'd like to buy "XFX Radeon R9 380 4gb GDDR5" but then i saw this "Sapphire Radeon R9 380 4gb GDDR5 Nitro Dual X OC" which is better for gaming?

I'm not really planning on overclocking even further,but they only got 20$ price difference,and from what i've heard,Sapphire is the best AMD brand

You need 2 x 6+2-pin power cables. A good modular power supply at 650w or so can be had for $70 to $80.

It's pretty much a wasteland for video cards above that 280X until you hit the $300 GTX 970 and Radeon R9 390. At 1080p, those cards are almost a waste.

Since they are all Radeon R9 380s, their performance should not differ by 5%, except if the cooling was badly designed and the GPU overheats and throttles during gaming. I think the only difference is that the Sapphire one has 2 fans, and already has Overclocking applied (Retail overclocking is within the warranty).

Read the reviews a little, it should tell you which one to buy. If not and they are the same, go by the one that looks better or the one that is cheaper (beware of hidden shipping costs, taxes and environmental fees.)

To further clarify, you could post the links to the shop here so we can help you better.

Oh,ok then i'll pick the xfx one, and also.. would a Seasonic M12II-620 Evo full modular be good enough for it?
And is the Nvidia GTX970 worth it over r9 380? Seems like many people suggest that,my friend suggest that too... but its so expensive though if so,how much difference would we got over r9 380?

The 970 is a much better card and it uses less power as well.

Oh thanks,then the xfx r9 380 one is definitely the one i'm going to buy,i'm only playing in 1080p anyway...

And for the power supply part, which power supply would be good for it? The M12II Evo edition seems great for me, its full modular, but the price difference between 620w and 650w is huge... its 30$ difference, 650w and 750w difference is 10$ or should i just get the modular M12II 650w??
