Graphic doubt and assembler

[migue30]

Hello comrades I have some doubts about the graphics card to put on the following set:
Amd fx8320
Asus m5a97 r2.0
I have the range clear and I am doubting whether it is worth or not the difference between:
r9 270x dual x gddr5 2b
r9 280 dual x gddr 5 3gb
As for price the brand sapphire is the one that attracts me the most. The difference is about 30-40 euros approx.
What do you think? Which one should I buy?

Hello mates, I have some doubts about the graphics card to put in the following setup:
Amd fx8320
Asus m5a97 r2.0
I have the range clear and I'm wondering if it's worth the difference between:
r9 270x dual x gddr5 2b
r9 280 dual x gddr 5 3gb
As for price, the brand Sapphire is the one that attracts me the most. The difference is about 30-40 euros approx.

Does it have to be new?
because maybe you'll find a 7950 cheap, then looking at these I don't see much difference in price and I much prefer the 280, it comes with 3GB and it's a better chip.

Sapphire R9 280 Dual-X OC 3GB GDDR5 11230-00-20G Graphics Card
Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X 2GB GDDR5 11217-01-20G Graphics Card

just the Giga of memory already makes it worth it, plus 384 bits that should perform better for demanding games.

If it's true, I think it would be worth the effort. It would have a graph for years.
As for the power supply suitable for that card, would 550w be enough? If I put the amd fx8320... The beast eats watts...

Do you already have the power supply?
If you have to buy it I would go for a 650W one, especially if you want to OC the graphics card and the fx8320, if the 550W one is good then it should be enough, although if you do OC it's always better to have a more powerful power supply.

according to the graphics card it seems to ask for 500W, but it's always better to have something more and especially if you do OC to the graphics card and the processor.
