I am looking to buy a new GPU but can't decide if I should go with and or nvidia I have my eyes on two GPUs
One is a amd MSI r9 280x 3gb twin frozr and the other is nvidia MSI gtx 770 2gb twin frozr I have looked at how well the perform but still can't make a decision on which one to go for I would just like a recommendation from some 1 with experience with these two GPUs thanks guys

If you dont plan on upgrading when the next line of GPUs come out then go with the 280x because the extra 1gb of memory will come in handy since games are going to start needing more memory like Watch Dogs does.

Although Watch Dogs is one of the only games that pushes 3gbs more and more games will start to need it in the future. So unless your getting the 4gb 770 which you obviously stated you weren't or are getting a new GPU when the next line comes out go with the 280x
