Help choosing the right r9 290

[Vaxos]

I'm a first time builder, so I'm pretty unsure on what brand/aftermarket cooler to pick for the r9 290

I want to go with the XFX card( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9290aedfd ) because it is cheaper, but I was wondering if it would be worth it to go with this ASUS ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r9290dc2oc4gd5 ), which is $10 more, or spend 20$ more than the XFX and go with a Sapphire tri-x ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003622sr ).

The max I'm looking to spend on a gpu is ~$285

current build ( already bought these parts all I need is a gpu)

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($319.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($88.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($79.98 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($52.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: ???
Case: Corsair SPEC-03 Orange ATX Mid Tower Case ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($92.99 @ NCIX US)

I'd also love it if you would explain why you would pick one card over the others, Thanks in advance

avoid the Asus card the Heatpipes are too big for the Hawaii core unless they fixed it

XFX card is good and looks good

the Tri-x the best out of the three and the only card that is better than the Tri-X is the Tri-x Vapor-X

from benchmarks the Tri-x had cool Vrms and Cool Core temps and also it ran the quietest out of the three

if u can afford the Tri-x defiantly buy that

Thanks, I'll probably end up going with the Tri-x then
