Building a PC for current/next gen gaming at around the mid/high tier.
I am having trouble deciding which GPU to go with though? The EVGA GTX 770 2GB Super Clocked w/ ACX Cooling or the Gigabyte R9 290 4GB OC? Reasons as to why I should favour one over the other would be informative for me as well.
Any help will be appreciated,

I have a method to pick between equally performing products.
Go to newegg and find the candidates.
Filter on the most reviews by verified buyers.
Then look at what percent of the reviews have one or two eggs indicating some sort of a problem.
In particular, look at the reasons for a bad review. Some are not very valid, so exclude those.

The R9-290 has a 40% negative rating:

The GTX770 has a 7% negative rating:

Does that help you decide?
