R9 280 (non X) - Which is more better? Help me decide.

[Lyfer]

Originally was thinking about getting a Radeon R9 270X Vapor X for $180 (for Wow/sc2/dota 2/occasional BF4) but everyone says the R8 280 (non X) is worth the $40 bump.

Asus Direct CU R9 280 version (has slight factory OC) - $229

or

Sapphire no frills R280 - $219

Both have $20 MIR, all I want is a silent card. Which is more better?

Will thise Seasonic 620W PSU be able to provide enough juice for the Asus card?
