A 290 would be a better option.

Performance-Price, I think the 290 is the best one currently. So either that, or the 280X.

Yeah.. I saw that the 290 is better than 280x and not expensive as 290x.. So, is it better?

TRI-X is much better and comes at a nicer price.

 

Probably the best option for a 290 at this price point: http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11227-00-40G/dp/B00HJOXUKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404836019&sr=8-1&keywords=r9+290+tri-x

The 290x is cheaper and basically the same thing but lower clocked then its 290x counterpart.

The Asus UX305 has an Almighty Intel core M-5Y10 0.8GHZ, GPU Intel HD 5300 Windforce, SDD 120GB, Passively Cooled, 1920x1080 Matte Screen, An Fantastic ICEpower Audio Making my House Shake and Having more ports then a MacBook btw this not an advertisement.

at least i can assure you that in regards of AMD GPU's sapphire tech is top of the line.

The 290 is the most obvious choice. Better than a 280x and only little worse than 290x (which costs way more)
