Refurbished vs New

[SkimmyMcG]

For Christmas I'll be getting money from my family and I'll be putting it into a new GPU, I'll be getting $250 in total so that's my budget. I was originally just going to go with an R9 280, but then I saw this refurbished R9 280X for $10 more, which should I get, the refurbished 280X, or the new 280? (The refurbished 280X is $110 off what it normally is for that model.) Here are the links.

I've never had a problem with refurbished and as long as there's a warranty you should be fine.

My brother bought a refurb receiver, xbox 360, amoung other things and has never had an issue. I just bought a refurb black friday xbox one bundle and it has a 90 day warranty. I'd jump on whatever you want.
