r9 280 or r9 285
285 usually edges out slightly ahead, but the 280 is typically a good chunk cheaper and has lower VRAM.
The 285 has a few small benefits which I can't remember to list, one of them being greater efficiency.
That said, the 280 would still be a better card if you would ever consider crossfire in the future.
Mantle also seems to benefit the 280 more, bringing it near and in some cases better performance than the 285.
