Good Gpu for me

[Nick Giann]

Hi there,
I am looking for a good price/performance gpu for my first pc build.
My mobo will be the Asus Crosshair v Formula Z which i got for a really good price.
My cpu will most likely be the Amd Fx 8350
Now, for my Gpu I am thinking of purchasing the Amd r9 280x. Will this be a good Gpu for the money?
Please note that I am not going to play all the new titles such as "Witcher 3" (at least for the moment) and even if I were to play them, I wouldn't play them at ultra settings.
Thanks for reading,
Have a nice day

Why do you want AMD?
What is your budget? Both for a build and a gpu?
Can you fill out one of these: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice

If you read it
My mobo will be the Asus Crosshair v Formula Z which i got for a really really good price.

The R9 280X is a solid card, it can overclock quite far, at stock it outperforms the GTX 960.

 

[Avishek Das]

Get an r9 380 instead . It has directx 12 (boost fps 17%+future secure) .

Sorry for not writing everything needed i was in a hurry.
My budget for the GPU is around 200-230 €
I have already thought about the r9 380 but it is around 275 €here

I also plan on doing some light video editing and photoediting
