Hi, I'm going to build a new pc for gaming and mining dogecoins or litecoins (when not in use). Would a 280x or 290 be better for gaming and mining? From what I've read the 290 is worth it for gaming but not mining. Any other opinions? I will be getting MSI to match my mobo.

Any suggestions or compatibility errors?
