which r9 290 should i get? I've heard the tri-x is good but that goes over my budget,

1. Gigabyte http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr...

2. XFX http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9290aed...

3. ASUS http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r9290dc...

Gaming PC build atm: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/GhzG23
What I'm looking for is the one that has the best performance and one that runs cool.
Also are R9 290's meant to run above 90C? Because i've seen a lot of reviews that they usually get up to that temperature.
Thanks.

TRI-X or Vapor-X. Best 290's out there.

As I have stated, they're over my budget.

Asus is generally more reliable than XFX & Gigabyte.

I would prefer the Asus, but since the XFX is $30 cheaper I would rather get the XFX. Also only the reference coolers get 90C+ but with these aftermarket coolers they stay pretty cool and quiet. For example the Tri-x barely gets to 60C when playing games like BF4 on ultra.
