I am building a Gaming Desktop and have some questions.

[CardellB]

Well, I am building a gaming Desktop and I would like to know which Graphics Card is best between these:
This R9 280X: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_558&item_id=064859
This R9 280X (V2): http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_558&item_id=064861
This GTX 770: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=061063
This GTX 770 SC: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_559&item_id=061067

Also, if you want to suggest another graphics card, I am open to suggestions, I just don't want to spend more than CAD$400. And I heard the R9 280X requires 12GB memory...

And, if you could take a look on the computer I am building and tell me if it's the best one for this price, I would be glad!
Parts:
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula-Z
CPU: X8 FX-8350
RAM: 8GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series
Graphics Card: THE ONE YOU RECCOMEND ME!
Power Source: Corsair Professional Series Modular HX850 80Plus Gold 850W PSU


AS I SAID, I AM OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS, SO, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK I SHOULD CHANGE, WITHOUT GETTING A MUCH HIGHER PRICE!

Thanks! : )

If I were you, I would go for a 770 4GB SC. Because with that card you can run pretty much anything on ultra, and the drivers are less confusing XD

The 4GB 770 SC is $390 while the R9 280x Gaming from MSI is only $320

I wold only consider the 770 is you want the games in the game bundle

Drivers on both side imo are pretty good in most cases

No idea where that comes from, you could run a 280X and only 1GB of RAM if you really wanted too.

For price to performance go with the 280 from ASUS, either or is s agood choice, the Matrix is a bit faster out of the box at 100 to the Tops 1070, but both OC well (I have the TOP), however went this way because the Matrix model is a 3 slot and takes up some real estate (blocks up to 2 slots, which is something to consider
