I do currently own a 280X Toxic(that will change soon tho :D), the only thing I don't like about it is that the fans are a little bit loud at full load but that's nothing you can't fix with a good fan curve. Default fan curve is just too aggressive for my taste. Other than that it's pretty good imo, mine can push itself to 1200Core/1750Memory without giving artifacts. Which is pretty good IMO.

I can get either the Toxic version or the WF3 version.

The difference is just 25$ which one should I get and is the Toxic worth the extra money?

 

Thanks!

Toxic definitely! Its the fastest factory 280X and its just badass. Might be a little bit louder than the wf3 under full load tho. Also the toxic has a backplate and ''status leds''

After checking the card some more I found out many people have VRAM overheating and artifacts problem and I can't decide if I should even buy it or not...
