Reddit mentions of Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP Dual-X OC Version (UEFI) PCI-Express Graphics Card 11221-00-20G

Its about the same performance. Buy a 280x instead.

Consider a used 280X. Much, much better and cheaper. Mine's been flawless. However, that doesn't exactly answer your question. Get the MSI one, absolutely. 2 GB of VRAM is going to be too little for maxing out games. Also, while EVGA's coolers are nice (I have a friend that has that exact card), they're not as quiet or efficient as MSI's. I've got one running an MSI fan right next to me, and I can't even hear it. It's beautiful. I had an EVGA GTX 560, and that was much louder as well.

R9 280X. Best bang for your buck GPU in any price range!
Amazon has one HERE. I recommend Sapphire.

EDIT: Also, here is an article backing up my suggestion.

Once again, thanks for all the help man. I look forward to playing all the upcoming releases on ultra :) I think this is the card that I'm going to purchase

I'd say this is the least you should aim for: www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FLMKNE0/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1452116225&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=amd+r9+280X&dpPl=1&dpID=414vkYjXqzL&ref=plSrch. It's just slightly over your budget but buying anything cheaper isn't worth it. It's old but it outperforms the R9 380 and run on par with the R9 380X. It might be a bit loud though. But if you want to maximize performance at your price level you should look into a 280X, just make sure that it isn't too loud for your taste.

Edit: I'm rarely one who recommends waiting for newer generations of cards, but Nvidia's and AMD's new architectures are coming later this year so buying a new (and old if you buy the 280X) card might feel like a waste when the new cards finally arrive. You should weigh the pro's and con's.

Thanks for the reply. Why does their website list a requirement as 750w? Is it just a CYA thing? This is the actual card I bought. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLMKNE0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here is the power supply:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEJZ1MA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A20O7ZIM03RW46

Heres the graphics card:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLMKNE0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A39P09SEXX7SDU

Good parts for a gaming and overclocking, but most of all I'd say your graphics card is a bit lacking. I would go for a 280x instead. If you want to save a bit, drop the CD drive unless you absolutely need it. Otherwise the build is gonna totally rock. That keyboard and mouse combo is fantastic for $25.

the r9 280x is probably your best bet at that price point.

Does the sapphire 280X need one? Here it is. I don't see that it regularly comes with cables. here it is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLMKNE0/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_1agLub0PKJQ2D

Thanks! Is $230 a good price for it? And would it still work at 400W if I waited to upgrade the power supply? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLMKNE0/?tag=pcpapi-20

Sapphire R9 280X Dual X

• Asus HD7850 (used, lightly) - HD7850-DC2-2GD5-V2

Thats not important at all, Im just looking for something that will work.
Amazon is having a pretty good deals on Sapphire GPU's.

Sapphire Radeon 7970OC
Sapphire Radeon R9 280x

I can find NEW 280x's for 265$-280$, willing to go used its like 150$, but probably powermined at 100% .

http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-3GB-Graphics-GV-R928XOC-3GD-REV2/dp/B00H34J64M

keep in mind these are more than 250$ but the 280x is better than the 285x

If you read special offers and product promotions in the description of the Dual X version, it has the deal listed. The Toxic version did not. If I were you, call Amazon customer support and be polite yet firm about getting the 3 game deal with the Toxic.

Also, this is the video card I have if that helps at all.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FLMKNE0/?tag=pcpapi-20

this is the video card im looking at.

measured my tower and it is 15" deep x 15" tall x 7" wide.

much thanks to all who have helped. i plan on getting the power supply this weekend, and the card next payday.

Under 280x on gpuscanner ( http://www.gpuscanner.com/#amd-r9-280x )

There's this listing: http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Version-PCI-Express-Graphics-11221-00-20G/dp/B00FLMKNE0%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJHGI4R6V54ZW43EQ%26tag%3Dgpu0f-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00FLMKNE0

gpuscanner lists the price as $350, but amazon's price for that is $450 new and $350 used.

Just get the Sapphire Dual-X for nearly the same price: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-Dual-X-Radeon-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B00FL8H57W/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1405005773&sr=1-2&keywords=280X

On the UK site, there are 3 miners complaining about their card, and one person giving it one star because they bought from a third party seller. The reviews are on on Amazon US or Newegg are fine. Sapphire Dual-X 7950 was one of the better/good 7970 anyways.
