I wasn't so sure If I should go off with r9 280x when I saw some weird prices twisting in newegg and amazon.
So heres my question:
Should I get a gtx 670 msi power edition ($280), a gtx 770 [evga acx cooler ($330) or PNY model ($312) or msi Gaming model ($330) or msi lightning ($350)] or a R9 280x either of xfx or Asus.
(*NOTE): I am an overclocking fanatic
My budget for a graphics card is in a $320 range, but I could downgrade some things in my PC if i wanted to ( etc... corsair cabride air 540 to fractal define r4 , noctua nhd14 to hyper 212 evo, no fan controller,)
GTX 670: Could I at least overclock and overvolt this to be better performing than a gtx 680-gtx 770?
GTX 770: I'm leaning more to PNY's model since it has 3 fans but i've heard from some people of it's coil whine. I think evga's acx cooling model would be the best to go with also some overclocking. But could the MSI 770 lightning overclock and overvolt past the gtx 780? If so thats where I'm putting my money.
R9 280x: I lean more to Asus, As it has more superior overclocking and looks better to me. However, XFX makes a breaker deal with a LIFETIME warranty and Free Battlefield 4 game.
I'm also find with playing some games in moderate to high settings. So some of these cards aren't even neccessary. Also What is mantle? when is it going to be implemented?
Future RIG:
CPU: 8320
CPU COOLER: noctua nhd14
CASE : Corsair cabride air 540
RAM: Crucial Ballistx Elite 8gb 2x4gb
Storage: 500gb Seagate Solid State Hybrid Drive
MOBO: ASUS M5a990FX
PSU: Corsair RM 550
NZXT Fan Controller as Well as a bunch of corsair fans
