Okay guys well I am deciding between 2 AMD cards right now as I will be building my first high end gaming PC in January/February. Right well the two cards I am looking at are the 290X and the 7990. Let's start of with the 290X I've heard it's loud and hot and it's a very powerful but good card, But there is 290X custom coolers just coming out in January which are around £60/100 more than the normal 290X which can be found for around £400 So if I was to get this card should I save up longer and get a custom cooled 290X or get a 7990. Which I've heard good and bad points about this card let's start of with the bads it's a power greedy card, It's prone to coil whining and the good parts is one of the fastest GPU if not the fastest which can be found for around £340 on amazon but it's out of sale and I don't know how long they will stay at that price and when they get them back in stock. I have also considered the 780 but the 290X out performs the 780. So that's were I hope the good community of Tomshardware can help me out on what card should I buy if it helps at all here is the rest of my PC specs I want to future proof this PC and play every game on the best graphics in next gen). Also this PC is just for gaming, I will be upgrading to 8GB of RAM ASAP, I'm just trying to keep the cost down low as I only have £850 if you could can you tell me what parts to swap out, to try and save as much money as possible thank you.
