It is an XFX AMD R9 280X, which is more performance for less. Yes, less money, $149.99 after 20 dollar rebate, a steal. Forgot to post the link @sammy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150705&cm_re=amd_r9_280x-_-14-150-705-_-Product Try and stay away from GPU's that have only 256 bit memory plane access, even a r9 380 2gig 256 bit card will perform slower than the card I mentioned here. You can find 512 bit r9 380x 3 gig card for $220.00 at Newegg. The card that you're proposing comes with 256 bit memory plane, you can look at the specs from this link oh, it's less expensive at newegg too: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150686 Edited July 14, 2015 by MrBubbles Damage_inc- 1

Which I dont. 700w will be just fine. Do you have an Intel chip or AMD. That's how I decide which one to get from past experience. Asus at one time if you got a mobo from them you were bet to get a Asus video card. Not sure if that is changed but it just make me stay away from Asus.

It all depends on what you're going to do, there are a lot more details that make a difference in combination but I don't feel like listing it all. Just like AMDs HBM Fury X knocks the 980 out of the water in most everything, I know the GTX 980 beats the Fury X in some games but that's it, only games. Edited July 15, 2015 by Cylon Awards
