Do note that at 11.61" the card might be the longest 280 on the market. Double check your case specs to ensure it will fit.

Dang this seems like a really good price. How does this compare to a HD7850 paired with a Phenom2 965 oc'ed to 3.7?

It still will be much faster but your cpu may hold it back some.

With your CPU, might want to wait for a deal on a GTX960. Slower CPUs hold back AMD GCN cards. Also, what games specifically are giving your rig trouble? That could provide a better basis to see how bottlenecked you are. What's your PSU and monitor resolution?
