I believe that you will need to change the power supply to a better quality like XFX or Seasonic.
How many amps are on the 12 V rails of the psu?
R9 280X and GTX 770 are both similar. Both will trade blows with each other depending on the game.

At the price of a gtx 770 4gb, you could get a r9 290, which is on the same tier as the gtx 780.

for those who are worried about the price
i don`t care about money
i am just wondering at the difference of the price
is it totally worth that difference ?
I mean that is there a large difference in as example `call of duty` or `battlefield`?

actually bf4 likes amd better. the r9 280x with its 3gb vram is more ' futureproof ' and will play at larger resolutions. the price difference between them is so big i recommend the r9 280x or the r9 290 if you can afford it.

If you're considering between the 770 vs r9 280x, its 2gb vs 3gb. The 4gb shouldn't even be considered because you could get a stronger card for the same price.

But yes, kunthakenthe is right. The r9 280x is a better performance to price point in most cases and has an extra gb of vRAM. BF4 is better optimized for AMD, BF3 is better optimized for nVidia as far as I know. It's also depending on what you're into. If you don't care about physX, then the r9 280x would do just fine.
