SAPPHIRE 4GB RADEON R9 290 TRI-X OC

MSI R9 290 Gaming

Powercolor Radeon R9 290 PCS+ OC

Those are the 3 that I can find under £235, are there any better ones available and which is the best 290?
 
Wasn't overlly impressed with the temps on my MSI 290 Gaming so I switched to the PCS+ , much much better. Better built and runs about 10 degrees cooler, it is a big card though with 3 fans.
 
The MSI is pretty average. Better than reference but temps still rocket unless case cooling is good. The Tri-X is well acclaimed.
