hi guys, currently im using a asus radeon 6850, i game on 1920x1080
but in the future i will probably add a second monitor for web searching or something while i game on the other one (hopefully its possible)
my budget now can buy a gtx 770 or an r9 280x
but i can wait a bit more and buy a r9 290 from msi if its really worth it, if i can save money i wouldnt mind too
or should i wait a bit longer as it seems that the gtx 880 might come "soon" and till there i will have the money for it probably

need help x.x

I wouldn't get anything more than the gtx 770 or r9 280X unless you are planning on gaming at QHD or above as those two cards are more than enough to run games at ultra settings at 1080p

1080p, a 280x or gtx 770 should be more than enough. If you want to buy yourself more time until you need to upgrade, getting a r9 290 will delay the process buy another year at least. With that being said, the 290 is consider and overkill for 1080p and is geared to 1440p. I would only recommend waiting for 880 if you plan on going 4k or Surround. I would expect 880 to be at least 20% percent better than 780ti, even 780ti is absurd for 1080p.

The performance is about equal between both cards. If the price is equal, go with the gtx 770. Usually, the 280x is better priced, and if thats the case, go with r9 280x.

That's a great deal... Where did you find it? The FX 9370 paired along with the GTX 770 would be perfect.
