So i got two options,both sapphire dual x and both refubished

the 280x goes for 174$ while the 7950 goes for 133$

now,i got another problem.

i have a silverstone 500w psu which does got 34v on the main rail and the needed 6 and 8 pin cable.
but i know its abit risky go with the 280x

so,whats your opinon guys?
should i pay the extra 40$ or i should go with 7950 who is also much more safer to run on my psu.

im not sure about the 7950 becuse the card i buy will prob be my card for the next 3-2 years so i want to buy a strong one that wont start struggling with new games after 1 year,in that thing the 280x looks like a strong card that will stay like it for the next 2 years.

so...what you you think i should do?

but is it safe to run the card on 500w psu?

and also how much is the 280x better? is it really noticable?
