OKAY.... DON'T BUY AMD NOW ! they are so overpriced ..out of stockk

your best option right now would be gtx 780 ... or wait until march and see the new generation from nvidia and its price/preformance

Then get a 280x if 1 month is too long to wait. I think you'll regret it though, if you could have got a 290 by just waiting for a month.
