I'm looking to start streaming after I purchase a new graphics card. I'll be looking to spend no more than about $600 (Canadian) on the card. If it makes any difference, I have a dual monitor set up, and a i5 2500k that is not overclocked.

I'm probably looking at either a R9 290 or a GTX 780, in that price range, so which would be best? I'll probably be streaming mostly LoL and maybe some D3.

EDIT: I guess there's also a chance I could hold out for an R9 290X (as you can see there is one on sale here for under $600)
 
Solution
I then recommend getting a 290x if you can afford. But if you can stretch a little but more tango with the 780Ti. Or the 780 and 290 will do just fine for your needs.

Bit since it is just LoL, then a 280 or 770 can do just as good too. :)
