For those games the 280 is more than you need. And it will depend on your PSU and CPU as to whether or not it would be practical.

If you cannot afford 280x, its ok coz you can overclock 280 to get near if not same performance as 280x. So get the card with the best cooling and o'cking capability as overclocking will make it run hotter

A 280 can be overclocked to match 280x performance easily. Get the 280
