I made a thread a couple months ago and got pretty close to buying a pc, but decided to wait until i had a solid 1000$ to build it. I have that now, and i've been researching, asking around, etc. and I think I've finally come up with a good build. But it's finally come down to Nvidia vs. AMD. Without saying any more I'll post the links to both
AMD: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RKkdGX
NVidia: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3ddXVn (They didn't have the actual GPU on pcpartpicker, but the newegg link is in there at the bottom)
Anyways, I've heard the r9 290 is 16.3~% better performing than the 770, but at the same time, i've also heard the 290 is hot, loud, and the drivers are unreliable. So should I go with power or dependency?
Also, while i'm here, does the rest of the build look pretty good? Thanks a lot for the help!
EDIT: Should also mention I plan on playing pretty intensive video games with it, and also will be doing video editing. I've heard that Skyrim mods take up a lot of VRAM, so that's why I feel 3-4GB would be best
