Hi guys I am going to purchase a new GPU and I am confused that which one should I purchase? Asus R9 280X or Sapphire R9 280 vapour-x edition. Please help me. Any help will be really appreciated.

Quite sure, assuming you listed your parts correctly. Though already accounted for the fact you didn't include X after 280 on the sapphire card and sapphire doesn't make a vanilla 280 vapour x so therefor you meant 280x ;) But yeah between those too cards I'd go sapphire if it were me.

if the vapor X is used then that changes everything. This wasn't mentioned in first post, unless your talking about a different card. In the case of used sapphire vs new asus....the asus wins unless your getting a super good deal on the used card and you know for certain how long it was in use (say a year maybe 2 tops) so you know it won't die on you soon. IMHO

What if I put a battle against a gigabyte gtx 1050ti 4gb 128bit VS sapphire r9 280x vapour-x 3gb 384 bits. Although I think r9 is Better because it has 384 bits. What will be your opinion? Which one is better for gaming?

the 7970 in use is the Gigahertz edition. performance wise should be identical since 280X is the exact rebrand of 7970 Ghz ed. but the major advantage of 1050ti is power consumption. 280X consume more than twice the power required by 1050ti.

That one is a little less clear. The GTX 1050ti does use less power which is nice but in games they are about the same. Some times the GTX wins others R9. check this out
