Im looking at the :
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-a... (R9 290)
and the:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx780d... (GTX 780)
Can you help me be inform me which is better for gaming and which I should get, and the pros/cons of each card. Also if there are any better cards that fit my colour scheme (black + red)
Thanks for your help in advance

The 780 because it has
Better passmark score 8,055 vs 6,398
Significantly more energy-efficient load power consumption250W vs 381W
Higher effective memory clock speed 6,008 MHz vs 5,000 MHz
Much quieter load noise level 48.1 dB vs 57.2 dB
Significantly more energy-efficient idle power consumption 62W vs 87W
Better 3DMark vantage graphics score 42,870 vs 38,650
Slightly better 3DMark06 score 35,080 vs 32,300
Significantly higher memory clock speed 1,502 MHz vs 1,125 MHz
Quieter idle noise level 38 dB vs 39.5 dB
Better passmark direct compute score 4,042 vs 2,740
More texture mapping units 192 vs 160
Lower TDP

It might perform better in benchmarks, but the R9 290 is more practical and performs better in real games. It's much cheaper, and it has 1 more GB of Vram. If you want to save electricity go with the GTX 780.
A more accurate comparison:

If you have a powercolor/sapphire card, it will solve all the heat problems of the 290

I never use GPUboss or any of those other sites because they're just the most superficial and generic scores and comparisons with no real true basis. They harvest info from a bunch of reviews on different sites and it gets jumbled up and messy. Plus there is obvious bias which is shown when they do not list things like compute comparisons for some GPUs versus others that are in the same price range but one is very superior over the other. SSDboss and CPUboss are both just completely synthetic. (PS filter times guise!!1!!!) It's a shame really.

Anandtech does testing on the same hardware. Definitely more reliable than GPUBOSS, SSDBOSS, etc

Also xxxboss websites are completely biased on intel and nvidia. I dont trust anything those sites say
