A 280X is a rebadged 7970.

The matrix is clocked high (both core and memory) and include the Gold ticket giving you a choice of three games.

Alternatively the 7970 TOP is cheap and includes the games also - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-273-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

That Antec PSU is made by Seasonic and is good - http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-High-Current-Gamer-M-620-W-Power-Supply-Review/1495
