Okay guys just as the title says I am looking to get a whole new rig for gaming. But I can't choose what card I should buy it's between the 780 at £380 or a 290X cooled which cost around £100 more but I'm on a kinda tight budget If I get the 290X il have to get 4GB RAM and a 8350 instead of a i5-4670k Is it true that the AMD Drivers are still faulty That's what put me off the 290X even more and does the 780 OC not beat the 290X?

Don't sacrifice RAM and your choice of processor just to accommodate for a hot and noisy 290X.

Get the GTX 780.

I'd get the 780, 8GB of RAM and i5 4670k any day

Yea, I thought it would be a better choice all round. Plus I can get a MSi Twin Frozr edition for £375 which is a great deal. I can't wait till I see full max settings it's going to be awesome thanks guys.

Great choice. I personally think the MSI version is the best 780 out there. Really cool and quiet.
