They're all good, but yes, the Sapphire Dual X is a great card -- if it's not substantially more than the alternatives, then I'd go with that. (although I would personally spend the extra money for a 280x assuming form factor/power isn't an issue).

If you can get the 280X, it's worth it.  Otherwise, unless the 285 is under $200 (and even at $190) Nvidia's own GTX 960 can be found for cheaper.  It also has alot better OC, Maxwell, and other Nvidia featues including a lower TDP and cooler running.

 

For performance it is pretty much par as with features too.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Maybe you should check Pcpartpicker again.  :)

 

Anyways here is proof by a well reputable source that they are pretty much par.

They trade blows.
