ah i see it then, now it's clear, thanks for the explanation by the way

i just barely forget this, may be on benchmark it'll turn on high but not on game, it just barely least than 10 fps :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

okay then, i'll just stick on GTX 770 but still not sure which brand, say :

1. gigabyte has 3 fan coolers with non reference PCB to fit it ultra durable concept

2. MSI gaming has a match aesthetic with my motherboard but it has reference PCB yet it military class 4

3. sapphire r9 280x toxic, it has OC VRAM clock to 6400 MHz, 3 fan cooler and have wider memory bus. butnot sure for it's durability

yet i'm still looking for other option may occur such as from xfx, inno 3d, palit or others

The Gigabyte card sounds best for you.

actually there are r9 290 priced on $450 - $480 but it reference, and i need to add some aftermarket cooler to run it safely and quietly

Reference should be fine, and it would run safely, unless AMD really wants a bunch of annoying spam e-mails with complaints about a card that is unsafe. They are just loud for a GPU, but they wouldn't set anything on fire or be a safety hazard. 

PC Build

 

AMD FX 4130@3.8GHz | Sapphire Radeon HD R9 290@947 MHz | 8GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM | 500GB Seagate HDD | [broken] Cooler Master i600 PSU | Some LG Disk Drive that costed me $20|

maybe you're right, and still i think it's an overkill for 1080p gaming dude, and since i'll OC my GPU, i think my PSU won't hold enough since AMD need more power right?

so r9 280x for AMD is a best option to pick

but thanks for your suggestion, it just make sense too :)
