I am building a gaming computer and its main uses will be gaming (BF4, Starcraft and much more) I would like to be able to record still playing at over 35 fps. I dont mind turning down settings a tiny bit. Later I might get a second card and go SLI.

I am planning on getting a MSI GTX 770 4GB gaming edition but I heard that the R9 280X is good as well.

If you answer please say why you choose the part and dont just say take the ... over the ...

this is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1P1Yy
I am planning on getting a second monitor for having the extra screen for Streaming and playing games. I dont need to play on both screen. atleast until I go SLI.
I am well in my budget with both so money is not the problem.

Thx for the help!

If you don't care about the free games get the R9 280X, if you want free games get the 7970 since it's the same card:

I live in a different country so I dont get free games. and if you read through what i said. you would have given me a reason why I should go for the Radeon cards instead of the MSI GTX 770...

Going with the R9 280X you will get almost the same performance for 100 dollars less.

You'd also be better of getting a SeaSonic X Series X-850(or similar power supplies) with more amps on the 12v rail if you want to crossfire and do some overclocking.
