Hi, I will keep this short, I have been writing like 30 minutes trying to describe my problem but stupid phone turned off for no reason now all I wrote is gone...

I will use my pc just for gaming. All kinds of games Minecraft or heavily modded skyrim, i mean everything. I dont want to upgrade quite sometime.(will 3gb vram be enough after couple years?)

My specs are
İ5 4690
Msi b85 g43 gaming motherboard
8 gb ram ( i can upgrade if I prefer cheaper gpu)
Corsair tx750w psu
1080p single monitor
5 fan pc case ( already loud)

What I am thinking of are(those are prices)I dont think i will go for 280x or something..

Sapphire r9 290 tri-x 1154tl
Sapphire r9 290x tri-x 1514tl
Sapphire r9 290 vapor x 1419tl
Msi r9 290x gaming 1450tl
Asus gtx780 directcu 1437tl
Msi gtx780 twin frozr 1439tl

You can put them in an order and please tell me the reasons. Thanks in advance

sapphire r9 290x is first choice. for single 1080p monitor it will do the job for nxt couple of years smoothly. it will outperform the gtx 780 easily in most cases. for gaming r9 290x is beast. you wont regret for buying...

Hey,

If I were you I would go for Gigabyte Radeon R9 290 4GB WINDFORCE http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr929oc4gd

It's $100 cheaper than the R9 290x and the difference in performance isn't that big to justify the higher price. At 1080p you would get between 3 and 7 FPS more with the 290x so you decide.

Edit:
Now that I checked the prices the one I suggested is nearly $200 cheaper even than the Sapphire r9 290x tri-x.

I personally don't believe that the difference between the R9 290 and the R9 290X is worth the money, and I was put in that same position. I eventually chose the R9 290 with Tri-X cooling from Sapphire. Not disappointed at all. Should go for it.
