The 780 is definitely better. But with that price you could get a 290X.

r9 290x is winner for sure in comparison to gtx 780. r9 290x will always beat 780 in the games. Driver support from AMD is not bad. The only things nVidia offers over AMD that are worth noting are Shadowplay and G-sync and Shadowplay is nearly irrelevant now with Raptr's new GVR and unless you have a G-sync capable monitor it is also irrelevant.

PNY isn't that good if you are looking for a reliable manufacturer that has great support and warranty. For Nvidia I would personally go with Asus then Gigabyte then MSI.

There isn't too much interesting about gsync and shadowplay in my opinion. If you're recording, you'd be getting a strong cpu anyways, or at least one that's decent enough to play and record. Gsync is somewhat of a huge money issue from what I'm seeing. You'd be buying an expensive monitor that'll have gsync support, and then later you'll be buying the gsync chip that will be a bit more money overall not worth it until prices go down quite a bit.

As for the manufacturers of cards, it doesn't matter as long as it has a decent warranty. If you're worried about failure, pay a few dollars extra for some extra protection then. I follow this rule: if it doesn't fail within a year or so, it's generally fairly solid to keep going. By the time it fails, then you'll already be more or less ready for an upgrade or something anyways. The lifespan of hardware is usually unpredictable since they can last for such a long time anyways from my understanding.

PNY and Zotac both make fairly cheap cards, I don't see why not go for them. nVidia's higher up cards are generally more stable and not as finicky as AMD's higher up cards. nVidia's reference cooler is still fairly effective anyways.
