I'm finaly building my first PC on the 11th of this month, and I have hand picked each component:

Phanteks Enthoo Pro M (Black)

Intel i5 4460 @ 3.2GHz

Raijintek Erebos Core Edition

MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition

Kingston HyperX Fury white 8GB

Samsung 850 evo 120GB

WD 1TB Caviar Blue

Seasonic G-650 Gold

My problem is Graphics cards. All the numbers look the same to me, and I can't really tell the difference between models...

So these are the 3 options:

Gigabyte Radeon r9 380 GV-R938G1 Gaming 4GB

Asus Strix Radeon r9 380 Strix DC2OC Gaming 4GB

MSI Radeon r9 380 Gaming 4G 4GB.

I haven't desided if I should go with a White-Black, or White-Black-Red build, so I don't care about colors.

Which one is the best of the three?

Get a Sapphire one, they have the best coolers. Usually not more expensive. MSI are second.
