Need Advice on Powercolor (R9-280X Turbo Duo) 3GB/384bit DDR5

Hi guys I have two questions.

Powercolor (R9-280X Turbo Duo) 3GB/384bit DDR5


is that video card a good buy given that it has the same price as gtx 760($250) in here?

and can my PSU power that video card? I have a Seasonic S12II-520 80PLUS Bronze (520W).

Thanks in advance.

280X is making circles around GTX760. It can be faster than 770 to plus have more Vram. It was a good choice.

As far PUS req 550W is recommended but i think it should be fine. You are looking at 400/450W total usage.

The R9 280X is slightly faster vs the GTX 760.(you may want to check reviews and match against the games you play)
Your PSU will handle either card, no worries. (good quality and plenty of amps)

If they are in the same range price , the r9 280x will easily outperform the GTX 760 besides I think you get to pick a free game from AMD which is nice. Your PSU will power the r9 but if you are thinking in Overclocking the CPU and the GPU I highly recommend a better PSU.
Ps: Owner of a gtx 760 :c

The 280x is faster than the GTX760 in most cases. Actually the GTX 760 competes closer to the r9 280/285.
