How well would this work for gaming? I tried to make it tiny.

For the price of your mobo/cpu, just get an H81 board and a newer Haswell i5

The R9 280 beats the 285 in games, look at some benchmarks.

R9 285 is a fair bit slower than the 280.

R9 285 is a fair bit slower than the 280. 

not really the r9 285 wins some and loses some but the r9 280 doesnt have all the features as it is an old architecture
