I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Voted for Sapphire, but I've found XFX and Sapphire to be one of the best coolers on the red side.

But do I really need the 8gb vram??

Id recommend it. I go over 4GB sometimes. And while I have the sapphire card the XFX is better but is quite a bit more. if you are looking to spend less is an AMAZING cooler for a "budget" model

Did you increase power limit and voltage?

If picking one of the 4gb go Asus, Asus is life.
But the 8gb one would help in performance and all... if the price is not much matter, i mean if you do can squeeze that extra penny go for it.
Just don't lose your sleep over this, it's hardly the end of the world such differences when you consider your budget limitations.

set them both to max.

Also even with my 1420 overclock i hit 75+C, where Jayz only hits 60 something at 1475

Which drivers? I'm running stock clocks with the new ones since it doesn't seem to like overclocks, but before then I could run at 1440 in my cramped case where one of my fans wasnt getting enough air and still stay at 75c. Your problem could be bad thermal paste application.

Most recent crimson drivers.
The temps dont bother me too much as its still a safe temperature to run at, but it'd be nice to have them lower :P

Yea, the new ones are really bad for OC. AMD needs to hurry and fix it.

First of all I was thinking to buy an Asus one just because my motherboard and my monitor is Asus (I love Asus) lmao xD but when I saw the money difference in 4gb and xfx 8gb I was like should I take the 8gb or just 4gb.. now I'm thinking that if I got those 40€ more should I keep them and by 8gb of more ram (I have 8gb now) or maybe a hard drive :/ idk they are a lot money for me and I don't want to waste something that I may save for something else :/
