    Budget AMD Build (Stuck on GPU)

    This will be my first budget AMD gaming rig =). My goal is to at least be able to play games at 1080p, High/Ultra settings at 60ish FPS, so nothing TOO crazy. I've done some research and think this build is pretty solid for what I'm aiming for. Regarding the GPU, please let me know if I should get the 280 or 280x. Is the 280x much better than the non-x version? Does V-Ram even matter as much when only 1080p gaming? What about future games that require it for higher quality textures? Anyway, here it is (NOTE: I have plenty of Seagate TB Hard Drives for storage):

    CASE: CoolerMaster N400 (w/ Side Window Panel)
    MOBO: Asus M5A78L-M/USB-3
    CPU: AMD FX-8350
    RAM: G-Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2x4gb 1866)
    GPU: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280x 3gb OC
    PSU: Antec TruePower Classic 650w PSU

    I think you're golden. most reviews for AMD's would recommend the FX-8 series processor, maybe one or two graphics cards and also recommending changing your hard drive from whatever it is to either WD (Insert size here) in Black, SSD for the OS, both or just get multiple SSD's. like one for the OS, one for the games and one for any ISOs or music files.
