Hello, I am looking into buying a 280 i was going to get the XFX one but then i have just found the Sapphire one £15 cheaper on amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IRTXPBM

I personally think that Sapphire or XFX doesn't really matter; it is all brand preference and everybody will have their own opinion.

Well, have you seen a Sapphire Card already? If not it is a huge card with massive cooling system, that is why it is great card due to it`s efficient cooling system. You should take note that your case should accommodate this oversize card.

Edit: sorry it's on there and it fits

It`s a massive card man. So, what do you want to do now?
