So I am building a Gaming + Video Editing Rig with a budget of Rs. 2,00,000 ($3,300).

CPU/PROCESSOR - Intel 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 4770K i7 Processor

RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) PC RAM

DVD DRIVE - Sony/LG DVD DRIVE

Power Supply Unit - Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 1000W 1000 Watts PSU

CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i Cooler

Overclocking? - YES YES YES

SLI? - YES YES YES


---
Prices.

Radeon R9 290X TRI-X OC 4 GB - 44,200 Inr. / At SLI - 88,400-

MSI NVIDIA GTX 780Ti Gaming 3G 3 GB - 55,300 / At SLI - 1,10,600

-

I am not sure which GPU to go for.

R9 290X TRI-X OC / 4 GB / 1040 MHz Core Clock / 5200 MHz Effective Memory Speed

780Ti Gaming 3G / 3 GB / 980 MHz / 7000 MHz Effective Memory Speed

So the question is, is the MSI 780 Ti SLI worth $370 more than R9 290X TRI-X OC SLI?

Help me out brothers :).

Sam.

P.S. - There is also a Galaxy edition with a clock speed of 1020 Mhz Priced At Inr 60,000 (Almost $1,000)

The r9 is quieter i know that 780 have better performing and its ti some ppl even say that 770 is almost good as the 290 i don't belive cause it's hard to compare nvidia to ati so get the 780ti tf or zotac.Also ati is crossfire only nvidia its called sli

Can you explain why you think the 780 Ti is worth $300 more than the R9? Also, this isn't the 290. This is the 290X.
