So I have basically nailed down all parts of my build except for the GPU. I have narrowed it down to two cards:

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202079

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130943

These two cards are the exact same price (and that price is the max of my budget for a GPU) and both have great reviews. I know the 780 would be a bit smaller, quieter, cooler, and use less power but I just want to know which would yield the best results for gaming.

Thanks

Well the 290x will have a better advantage at 4k and has Mantle along with 3 free games while Watch Dogs needs to be optimized. So depends on your res and games you play.

It would not be a bad choice to get a cheaper 290x and add a liquid cooler or even a 290 and overclock it.

If you can get them both for the same price I would suggest the 780 3gb of ram is good enough for up to about 1600p. And the 780 has a lower top and runs cooler. If you end up water cooling you can get a good oc on it, better than the r9 290x
