Choosing a Graphics Card (semi-urgent)

Shabaz50

Really Quick question!
I am looking to buy a 250 euro graphics card for Christmas and i am wondering which of these two cards are the best.
1.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00UHHXXH8/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1FQJZ9SS1HWJP5FWF57R&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577048407&pf_rd_i=desktop
2.http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00ZPOBI0M/ref=ox_sc_imb_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Hoping to purchase the card tonight or ASAP.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

The 380

If it doesn't need to be new a 290 or 290X can be gotten for that money

would buying a second hand card not be risky though?

Shabaz50

would the Sapphire R9 290X Tri-X OC be a better card than the 290x?

Eh, so-so, probably safer than most components, I've a second hand 290 in my box I got for real cheap so its fairly safe I would think, most people are genuinely upgrading as opposed to trying to pull a fast one.

What's the second post?

i spotted this card second hand and i was wondering if it was good as this one.
The second one is 1 year old btw but the other one is "new"

The first card is just a 290, Tri-X is Sapphire's release. The second one is faster, but won't cool as well
