I am looking into buying a r9 280x or a gtx 760 or a r9 280 or a gtx 770. I'm not sure which is the best to play @1080p. I mostly play call of duty and battlefield. I need a card that runs at 60FPS. What is the best non reference cooler for each of these as well. I will be running some high overclocks to get the most out of my system. I am using one monitor. I may upgrade to 2 in the future. I will be attempting to buy the card used to get the best deal. My budget is 300$.

"What I really like is that the GTX 770 Gaming comes at no price premium over the reference design. It currently retails for $399, which makes it very attractive to value-oriented buyers (if you can say that about a $400 graphics card). Overall, the card delivers the best GTX 770 experience--in my opinion. If you gave me 500 bucks to buy a graphics card, I would buy the MSI GTX 770 TF Gaming and party away the rest of the money."

The card is perfect for 1080p, no problem in any game. At 1440p it may struggle a bit but only in the most demanding games; it's still going to rock
