Hey guys,
I'm looking to buy a Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X but I don't really know where to buy it. I'm looking for it to be around $300-$380.
Also, I would like it to be available in Canada, preferably. I would prefer online retailers also.
And if you can find one with a free/discounted of BF4 that'd be nice too.

Thank you, any feedback is appreciated! ^_^

It will be tough to find one in that price range right now. Because of litecoin/bitcoin mining, 280x cards are being sold above $400-$420. Even though they launched at $300. Is there a reason you are dead-set on the Sapphire model?

I'd prefer it, but it can be another brand too, thanks for responding. c:

Well even if you do manage to find one right now, it WILL be overpriced. If you want 280x performance with a different name. Then go with a GTX 770. You won't even notice a difference in performance. I'd put money on it. Plus it will be at least $70+ cheaper. If you don't mind waiting a while, you can wait til the craze is over and the 280xs return to their normal (and rather attractive) price of $300~. At $420 they are overpriced though. I wouldn't get one right now when a 770 does the exact same thing for $350~.
