Hello,
I am going to build a new PC system specifically for GAMING purposes! and i am really confused to what VGA to pick, so let me just describe the situation here:
I am AMD fan and actually i hate INTEL & nVIDIA
I am using AMD for gaming since Duron 700!!! along with ATI graphic cards ....
So that was just a description of what i hate and love lets get to my options:
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Mainboard: ASUS Crosshair-v Formula-Z
RAM: 16GB or 32 GB
HDD: SSD + Cavier Black
A1350W powersupply and ....
1 - I can buy 2 Saphire Radeon R9 290X and CF them
2 - Get a ASUS Radeon HD7990
3 - Get 2 ASUS Matrix Platinum HD7970GHZ and CF them
Or in worst case scenario i go with a Geforce GTX Titan and then since i do not wanna disrespect AMD mainboard and CPU i will get an Intel Corei7 4770 and some ASUS Maximus IV main and etc

so i wanted to know which card you recommend so that i will Play games with best performance for about 4 years?!

You don't disrespect AMD if you put an Nvidia in an AMD build.Buy AMD R9 290x , if you don't want 290x ,buy Nvidia 780Ti.

I know it is not disrespect but i kinda feel bad if i put nvidia in AMD build!

So you think R9 290x X 2 will have better much performance than 7990?
and does it have heating issues?!
i hjave heard r9 290x has heating problems

290x are made to run at 95 celsius. Wait a little to hit the market the Asus,MSI and other producers with aftermarket coolers not the reference cooler.

well..just wait for 3rd party vendor like gigabyte asus msi etc..

and yes, r290x is beast in term of performance and heat.

if you can't wait, artic accelero cooling III is really do the job..
and with a little overclocking effort, it'll be as fast as 780Ti with lesser money..

That Sapphire is with the stock cooler like any other 290x on the market now. Buy two 280x for crossfire.

No will not brick. I have an MSI 6950 with stock cooler and it works verry good.You can go with a single 7990 if you want.

Rather get the 2 290x's and CF them it will give you an average of 80 frames+ but if you want get the 7990.
but the 7990 drivers are more stable as far as i hear but it's not a train smash as AMD (FTW) is working hard and has seemed to improve the R9 series already and are updating the drivers quite often.
