I'm looking to upgrade my GPU this year. I've been looking at the GTX 770 but I'm not sure what the equivalent for AMD is or if there is any AMD cards cheaper and better than the 770. I'll have to upgrade my PSU too and have been looking at the EVGA 600 B 80+ Brz. Best bang for your buck?
I'm using dual monitors. Main display, 1080p, and 2nd 1400x900.
Thanks

Current Specs:
AMD FX 6300
G Skill Ripjaws 8gb
MSI 970A-G43
Corsair 500w
MSI Radeon 7850 2gb

The AMD R9 280X is the Geforce 770 GTX's main competitor at that price bracket.

Here's a comparison:

Overall Nvidia tech tends to run cooler and perform slightly better at bleeding-edge maximum settings, but AMD tech will perform better if you don't push your game settings to the limits (which usually results in 'playable' framerates rather than less-than-optimal).
