GPU question :)

[xMishax]

hello once again sorry if I'm being annoying here with questions, but as I saw you guys have some unbiased opinions without any fanboyism So I would like to ask you once more   I'm going with

 

                                         Corsair RM 650M PSU

                                         Crucial Ballistix 2 x 4GB 1600MHZ CL9 RAM

                                         Hyper EVO 212 cooler

                                         Cooler Master N300 Case

                                         AMD FX 8320 with Gigabyte 990FXA UD3 as I posted in my last thread

I was planning to buy MSI GTX 770 Gaming, but recently prices of R9 280x dropped. So now MSI R9 280x Gaming costs about 40-50$ less than GTX 770 from same manufacturer . Do you think It is worth to buy R9 one?

 

Thank you for all the opinions!

I had an R9 280X. Loved it. Even comes with better games. Also preforms pretty evenly with the 770. I'd go R9 280X.

Ever since the price drop, it's been a good choice as a GPU.

 

I'd grab the R9 280X if I was on a budget.

Yes, go ahead with the 280x, just make sure it's the revision without the VRM cooling issues.

between the 280x and the 770, always just choose the cheaper one, or if you need some features that are exclusive, that one

[H4X3R]

280x for sure.

Also, do NOT get an RM series power supply. I suggest a seasonic m12ii 620W instead. The RM series used bad secondary capacitors (like reallly bad ones (made by capxxon)).

The rest looks fine.

I would like to know  what do you mean revision? Could you advice one ?

the old ones have VRM overheating problems.

i would go with the R9 290 if its not too much out of your budget, you will benefit from the 4 gb of ram, if you upgrad you moitor in the future or add anotherone.

[Totally-A-Hero]

Ya maybe if you can reach for that gigabyte 290 its 379. bucks on amazon

[xMishax]

well , sad to admit but I'm living on the edge of the earth and shipping from amazon or ebay costs billions   in my shops R9 290 reference is like 150$ ,or even higher, more expensive than ASUS R9 280x DCII TOP.... so it's kinda expensive however , which one would you guys advice to take - R9 280x ASUS DCUII TOP or MSI TWIN FROZR? Which one has more overclocking space?
