Ok, First of all disable the onboard graphics if you have a 280X (or a pair of them).

1. FCPX will work (I think) with an internal graphics card, but the performance may be rubbish. Certainly rendering can be problematic as its not clear what FCP X chooses. FCP X is optimised heavily for FCPX. The internal graphics card is vastly inferior to your AMD and offers nothing the AMD card doesn't have.

2. Don't mix and match nVidia and AMD cards for FCP X work.

3. Sleep is a known issue on AMD cards and Clover. If sleep is important to you, you have a problem :) I simply ignore sleep.

4. 280X PCI slot position makes little difference. The difference in bus speed seems immaterial when I did my testing on a Mac Pro.

5. The system definition is important. I use 14,2. I *think* 3,1 is if you have ECC type memory (or similar).

6. The Sapphire Radeon cards work very well.

7. The Gigabyte Z97X UD5H boards work very well. I have one. No issues so long as you have the right RAM.

no idea man FCX its working fine on my system.
 
Ok. Everything is working great now.
Playback wasn't working because audio was set to something different other than HDMI so its all good.
Bruce X test came in at 19 seconds. I have to think that's pretty good? Bruce X on my 2013 fully loaded MBP came in at 90 seconds so I'm happy.

Does anyone know why it won't shut down (computer) though? Even if I select shut-down, it still re-starts the computer.
