Hey guys!
So I want to upgrade my graphics card soon and since the inflation of prices due to crypto-mining has been extinguished I thought I would check out some of them and here are the ones I found I would like.
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-4GB-2xDVI-Graphics-GV-R929OC-4GD/dp/B00HS84DFU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400195640&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte+R9+290
http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-2GD/dp/B00D3ES1Q0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400195650&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte+GTX+770
The problem I'm having is that I can't choose.
I want to make this build with an Nvidia card since I've never owned one before and because it is slightly quieter and a bit cheaper, but the R9 290's price and performance is really tempting given that it used to be around 500$. I'm also planning on buying an aftermarket cooler for which ever I buy (probably something from Arctic), so noise and temps are not something I'm worrying about.
So price to performance wise, which one is more worth it?
