Hey guys I just wanted you opinion on which GPU would be better. It seems like the reviews are better on the GTX 770 and they are vastly more popular, but on the other end, the r9 290 has better performance but are not as highly regarded as the 770. I want to get the 4gb version of the 770 to game on multiple monitors which means that the price of the 770 would be the same price as the 290. So if anyone could shed some light on which path I should chose and why, please let me know! Also, which brand is the best for each? Thanks

system specs:
i5 4670k
8gb ddr3
250gb ssd
msi g45

Get the Gigabyte R9 290, for it's better performance and superior cooling.

Anyone else have any recomendations? I heard the 290 consumes more power so i'd have to buy a new psu just to be safe. Even then would it be worth it?

I'd say it is, the added performance of the R9 will be worth the $70 for a new PSU.
