I going to build a new rig very soon and am thinking of buying a R9 280x

I am thinking of getting the Aus DCii or the Matrix version 

However is the Matrix version worth it e.g. is the GPU on the matrix cherry picked?

if not then I may just go with the standard DCii 

 

Other recommendation and advice are welcome 

when discussing prices in terms of the cards UK pounds only plz or places which allows for international  orglobal shipping e.g. NCIX

thank you

Depends on how much you will be overclocking, think whether you cloud spend money on something else with the price difference between the two cards. In my opinion I wouldnt get an asus card unless it was the matrix. Ive just had so much trouble with asus that its put me off quite a few of their products.

Personally, I wouldn't do either. I would throw a MSI Twin Frozer R9-280X in it.
