I'm just going to throw this out there.. But for $62.86 more dollars you could get a great gaming PC in a micro ATX form factor as well... Bad ass Intel i5-4670 and R9 280x will kick just about every games ass at max settings.. Not to mention that you're going to want the 3GB frame buffer seeing as how most all games in the near future will start using more then 2GB.. Like Titanfall requires a 3GB card to unlock insane textures. BF4 will use 2.5 GB when you max everything and use 200% resolution scale. In a year or two when BF5, Witcher 3, Titanfall 2, Star Citizen..etc..etc comes out you will wish you got a 3GB card with the power to push those textures and visuals like the R9 280x here.
