So i am looking into building a medium/high end gaming rig, i already have the mobo, ram, hdd, psu, case, cpu (fx 6300), but not a gpu pick out. I have a very limited amount of money and need to decide between getting either an evga 750 ti, or an msi r9 280. I know that the r9 280 is much better, however it is about $100 more, if i got the 750 ti i could keep the psu i have now and that would also save me a lot of money too (the psu i have now probably should be upgraded anyway since it is an unknown brand and not 80+ certified). But still i cant decide if it is worth it to spend the extra money for the r9 280. As far as other gpus stand i want the r9 280 over the gtx 660 and 760 because it is better than both and only about $230, also the r9 270 and 270x i have crossed out because if i am going to spend $200 i would rather just spend another $30 for the extra performance. Also when helping me keep in mind that i am truing 16 in about a month and will also be saving up for a car and a boat. 

I run my own indie game company called Color Dragon Studios where we are currently making a 2d platformer game called Small Earth.
