R9 270X and second monitor or R9 280x?

[basketball762]

Hi! I have a really quick question. I recently sold my MSI 7850 2GB Graphics card and I'm looking to get Anne graphics card. I have two options to go with:
1) Get R9 270X and get a second 1080 Monitor
2) Get only a R9 280X right now

Which one should you suggest? Also, I only have a corsair 500 watt power supply, so if I did get only the 280X would my PSU be able to run it? Thanks for any help in advance!!

I would pick R9 280X . About the PSU i'm not so sure because I don't know your setup but i think it is ok or if you don't want to face any problem in the future buy a 630 or 650 watt PSU

500w may not run anything more than a R9-270X

Yeah, I known they recommend anywhere between 600-700w. But I've been doing some research and some say they run their 280X with 500W fine. Don't know if that's smart though.

Definitely go with the Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X OC http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FLMKNE0. The price is too amazing to beat for the performance you get out of it.

I've got a R9 280X and can play any current game on ultra settings at 1080p.
