Hey all, not sure if I should go with the GTX 770 and spend the extra cash, or just get a GTX 760? (Note that my resolution is 720p, 1080p) I also haven't looked up many Radeon Cards, would anyone suggest any of those instead?

Here's my specs

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Power Source: CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

Hard Drive: Western Digital Red NAS Hard Drive WD20EFRX 2TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1682...

Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model

Thanks in advance!

something like a gigabyte windforce 270x would be useful but for the price of a 770 i would look at getting a 280x but if you can spare the extra 100 bucks the r9 290 is the best deal hands down. especially with an after market cooler how ever they are pretty scarce at the moment.

280x with aftermarket cooler is best deal, same.performance as 770 for less and mantle support.

On Newegg Canada, 280x is actually more expensive then the 770

The power consumption between Kepler and gcn is not that different, yeah they are a bit more expensive ATM because of litecoin miners buying them up, but more worth it for the performance boost mantle will bring for mnd cards to begin with.

I think you should get a 770, whichever is cheaper. (The MSI one is the best in my opinion)
