hello i have been lurking around the forums all night and need some help and advice

the mini hdmi port and 1 of the dvi ports have failed on my msi twin frozer 2 560ti which is annoying because i like to have my pc connected to my tv

so i am in the market for a new graphics card but have have not been taking any notice of what has been going on with nvidia and amd

i am looking for a card that will go well with my current spec (in my signature)

i would like the fans to be as quite as possible

budget around £150 - £180

possible contenders

Powercolor Radeon R9 280 TurboDUO

XFX Radeon R9 280 DD Black Edition 3072MB

MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC

out of interest will my 2500k at 4.8ghz be a bottleneck for these cards?

edit also not to bothered about the free gifts
 
wait one more week for the new R9 285, it will be announced tomorrow, and will be on shelfs 2 september, it should be equivalent of the R9 280 perfomance wise, but more efficient, added freesync and trueaudio, but 2 Go ram only
