Gigabyte do a better R9 280X than Sapphire. Performance wise anyway.

So I'd expect them to do a better R9 280 too.

280X is better than 280. But Gigabyte and Sapphire make better quality GPUs than XFX.

You might be OK. See http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6236/xfx-radeon-r9-280x-3gb-double-d-black-edition-oc-video-card-review/index24.html
"The XFX variant of the R9 280X 3GB is nice. The cooler looks simple and elegant; the good news, though, is that it doesn't only look great, but it performs exceptionally well with noise and temperature as well. If you're after an R9 280X 3GB that hits at a really strong price point, the model that XFX has shown here today is one you should be looking at."
