I was in the market for a 280x several months ago, then Bitcoin happened and prices spiked so I stopped looking.
$200 for a 280 + 3 games sounds pretty awesome. Is the card crap? Not many reviews on the egg but nothing bad besides one DOA and a rickety fan or two.
Sorry, I got confused over the different model designations of the R9- the 280, the 280x, and the 290. I don't even know if this had the black screen problems. Once again, sorry.
