What's the difference?

I'm going to buy an R9 280X Video Card.
But there are two types,

MSI R9 280X Twin Frozer 3G 384bit Gaming, that's one

Sapphire R9-280X Dual-X OC 3GB GDDR5 384bit, that's the other one.

So, what's the difference?

different aftermarket cooler...
different core clock...
and probably the price...

MSI card is overclocked higher so it will perform a bit faster out of the box ,
but you can always tweak card from sapphire at home , so if it´s cheaper go for it...

what processor and power supply do you have by the way?

An Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2Ghz
and a 600watts PSU

Out of those 2 I would go for the MSI. But, the Asus brand seems to be the TOP version so if I were you I would go for that. But, the R9 280x is a 11in card (which is huge) so make sure your case can fit one. And make sure you power supply has a 6 and 8 pin.
