MSI R9 280X Vs ASUS R9 280x

Solution
oh snap. i didn't know custom 280s were out.

i'll tell you this much. i've owned 8 asus products and the only one never had issues (my 2560x1440 monitor which i paid $600 for). i would go for anything but xfx or asus. MSI and gigabyte have always been good to me.

avoid xfx cards like the plague though. personally i own an XFX PSU, but it's actually a re-branded seasonic.
 


... and Seasonic PSUs are excellent. In fact Corsair's PSUs are also made by Seasonic. No problems whatsoever.
 


i know. i was just throwing that in there to say that i'm not an all out brand hater,
