I am building myself a computer and want to know what the best graphics card would be to use. (275-375 dollars).
I will be using this computer for streaming games of all kinds on twitch, using (2) monitors. I will also be doing some light video editing, no 3D, Personal use,and like to multi-task and play with media.

Any useful comments on graphics cards would be greatly appreciated and feel free to comment on my build. attached is my build. Thank you.

would you consider that better than the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card I have in my build currently?

I see that the 2 monitors that you have are both 1080p, and seeing as you only have 2 I am assuming that you aren't planning on running eyefinity or surround. If so I would first of all knock that 770 you picked out down to 2gb. Going with a 4gb card for one 1080p monitor will likely give you at most 3-4 more fps. If you want to go the AMD route you will In that price range I would get either a 280x or 290. The 280x will be slightly slower maybe 10 fps less and the r9 290 will likely be 10 fps more. Keep in mind im kinda ballparking. To give you more accurate numbers I would have to know what games you plan on playing. Personally I would go for the 770 2gb as I have had better a better experience with nvidia. I have both a r9 280 and a 770 2gb. I like nvidia better for these reasons: -nvidia shadowplay is currently the best way to record gameplay as it has very little performance impact 5 less fps on avg. - I have had problems with micro stuttering with my 280, especially in Skyrim but this may just be a personal issue. -nvidia seems to have better quality control (its very hard to find a 5 star rated AMD card)

I appreciate everyones support. It has been a while since I have put a computer together and a lot has changed and I know very little about the many graphics cards out there.
