What's the best video card I can get for $300? I'm considering getting a 3GB 280x since most of them are around $300. Would that be a good choice? Is there anything better for around the same price?
r9 280x is the best choice at $300
770 is what i would go with, and its only 309 bucks from a couple vendors.
First you need to know what do you want to get... look at the benchmarks for the games you play the most and pick between the 770 and the 280x (I have a 280x and it is a good card, just as good as the 770)
R9 280x or GTX 770
The 280x according to anandtech:

Don't waste money on overpriced NVIDIA cards.
Honestly in my opinion the saphire HD 7950 3GB card for 220 is a perfect card for the money, it packs a serious punch man.
