gpu opinon for a new build

hammertime1 · Aug 28, 2014

genuinely stuck on where to go with a gpu for a build, please help!
settled on these parts

Intel Core i5 4690K €212
8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3-1600 €67
Crucial M500 120GB SSD - €60
Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB SATA €50
Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3 Socket 1150 ATX €78
XFX PRO650W Core Edition PSU €72
Corsair Carbide SPEC-03 €53

but i'm stuck on GPU

basically, i need to know where i'm best suited on which brand between the 770 2GB or the r9 280x 3GB. looks like my best options are

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked EVGA Cooler, 2GB GDDR5
or
ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5

i'm looking at around the €250-€280 mark for the gpu and shopping on hardwareversand.de

i want to be able to play basically any games in the next 2/3 years min at high/ultra on a 1080 tv. i don't really play online, so 64 player bf4 isn't an issue.

thanks!

This may only be a gtx 760 but the 4gb of ram will allow great resolutions than 1080p and be supported by games for a longer ammount of time:

770 is better, you have the great evga customer support and warranty, not to mention the 770 should last you ultra for next 2-4 years on solo campaigns roughly

he says he doesnt really play online. The issue is if he does every on later titles he will get lower fps. Its his choice

^ Which is why i said 'solo campaigns', they're not demanding

legend001523 :

he said he really doesnt play on line. you dont want to go online with some next gen game one time and get not so great framerate

legend001523 · Aug 28, 2014

A 770 can max out any game right now with ease, I don't see when that will be a issue, maybe in 3-5years time

as i said its his choice

A 3gb 770 will be better than 4gb 760, it's even better than 280x I think

thanks for the pointers guys, appreciate that. seems like the general opinion is towards the EVGA 2GB 770 S/C rather than the 3GB r9 280X for my uses and futureproofing. if anyone else can chip in with opinions or thoughts/reasons to think otherwise, i'd also appreciate it! it's a big investment for me and i want to be sure that i'm covering all my bases.
