Hello, which GPU should I buy?
An R9 280X or a Radeon 7950? I will be using it for mining/gaming
If possible, please link me to your recommendations on amazon!

I also need a PSU to handle my GPU.

I would go for the r9 280x over  the 7950 for the better hashrate and better power consumption.

r9 280x is like a 7970 GHz edition. I prefer Sapphire for their ability to under-volt to save power usage while sacrificing some KH


For example I am running 4x 7970 on a 1000 watts PSU. Total system usage is 830 Watts.

Hashing at 620 KH/s on all cards.


Good luck finding them as they hard to com by.
