what are you looking for in a GPU? What resolution are you going to play on? are you going to record game play then render and upload videos? are you just going to game? These are some things should think about when looking for a new GPU.

I would get the most powerful GPU you can afford right now, you will be able to play all games that are out right now, and it will last you longer before you need to upgrade again. If you plan of recording I would go for the 770, if all you are going to do is game go for the 280x.

As you can see the 770 and 280X trade blows, depending on the game. The price difference is not that big when you are looking at good quality 280X GPU’s with good...

You are going to have people say nvidia is better and amd is better. I prefer nvidia but I am not going to say nvidia is the best. Like I said before look at your plans/needs and buy according to what is best for you.
