I am about to build a new PC. I am going to be mainly using it for gaming on ultra-high resolution at 1080. Probably games such as BF4. Will the 280X be good enough, or is it worth upgrading to a GTX 780 (or 290 when it comes out)? Also any comments on the build in general would be much appreciated. Thanks.
