OC stands for overclock.

For e.g. Nvidia release GTX960 @ 500mhz. Brands (Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, etc) created better coolers and raise the clocks speed to 550mhz.

Frankly speaking $299 is cheap for Gigabyte, but currently Sapphire & PowerColor R9-280 3GB offers much better performance to price ratio for similar performance level.

R9 is not as power efficient as their competitor but they win them in price to performance ratio.

If you are on budget, R9 is the best.

If you dont mind. The price gtx960 comes with a free witcher 3 game. Thus making it on par with r9 280 pricing.

If you buy the msi version they have it with metal gear solid. And yet redeemable witcher 3. Making it even more worth it.

Lets say you buying with msi h97 gaming 3 mobo, you get $30 ntuc voucher.
