All really similar. Just get the cheapest one or whichever looks best.

Yes nice warranty but the cooler is loud and does not cool as well as the others.

Their 280X is at stock speeds and it's always at the same price or pricier than the MSI or Gigabyte's version which are above the Ghz and I've heard stuff about the cooler but I don't know...

I personally like the ASUS DC II the most. It cools and OCs REALLY good. And the Auto OC is really stable (doesn't flucuate very much in frequency).

ASUS DC II or Sapphire Vapor-X any day. Both are beast. Sadly the Vapor-X has a blue PCB, although if you're doing a blue and white build this may not even be a drawback.

Am I the only one that does not like XFX's coolers? Call me crazy but I don't like the look of it and I do like simplistic designs.
