[SOLVED] Is R9 280X Worth The Buy In 2019?

[yullbarez]

Hi. I'm from Turkey. I've found an clean Asus R9 280X DirectCU II TOP model GPU and it has full box content. I've heard it performs better than GTX 1050 Ti. I've found RX 570-470 but these GPUs used for mining so i don't want to buy one. R9 280X will be enough for me. I'll use that GPU for gaming and photoshop at 1280X1024 resolution. Is it worth the buy in 2019?
Specs:
Intel Xeon X5450 3.60 GHz OC CPU
Asus ROG Commando Mobo
6GB Kingston DDR2 800 MHz CL6 RAM(2GBX2 1GBX2)
Asus Silent Magic HD 3650 512 MB DDR2 128-Bit GPU (+191 Core +121 MHz Memory OC)
Samsung HD155UI 1.5 TB 5400 RPM HDD
Samsung HD250HJ 250 GB 7200 RPM HDD
Seasonic 700W 80+ Plus Bronze PSU
Asus Vento A2 Case
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

Thanks.

On average 10% faster than a 1050ti. https://www.techspot.com/article/1592-revisiting-radeon-r9-280x-radeon-hd-7970/

Caveats:

1. They're huge! Check to ensure it fits without issue.
2. Power hungry! - probably twice so compared to 1050ti, that said, your PSU will be good enough.

I can't say whether its worth it or not, you didn't list any price, nor say how much you are able to spend; besides, that's a subjective and personal question, that only really you can answer.

Your other questions are mostly answered at the recent review I linked.
