Thats all, what would you choose.

Now R9 290 @ 233€ or wait until next month and get the EVGA 780@ 375.

The MSI is reference cooling (with price diference i can get an aftermarket cooler). The EVGA is the ACX version.

I had a Phantom 820 Case so i had plenity of space and airflow

The price difference is 142€.

My expected lifetime for this card is 3-5 years.

My actual VGA (HIS HD4890) is dead, im using my laptop now.

I used to play BF3, BF4,Skyrim, Assasins creed Saga... and along this year i will buy Star Cityzen.

Im waiting your advise to make the final decision.

Thanks you all.

I suggest the R9 290. Its cheaper for you with a slight performance increase. Just DON'T get the reference cooler. The AMD reference coolers run hot and loud. Get a decent one like the MSI Twin Frozr. It will do fine with BF3/4, Skyrim, etc.
