do u know how many fps will i get with the 280 x and wouldn't evga or nvidia will be better with the i5

I don't know about the FPS and the GPU brand is your preference. Radeon happens to be cheaper. I would have gotten you a 970 but they are $350 an up.

I'd go for an R9 290. That way you are good for a few years, and can play at max settings. It is a $310 card, however. Make sure, if you do opt for the lower price option, you get the R9 280X, not the R9 280, because there are no water blocks on the market for the R9 280. (i cri)
