Ok, so I am about to purchase a gpu, and at first I was going to get the asus r9 280x. However, I found a refurbished msi 7970 that had 6gb of ram. I compared both and it seems both are the same except in the ram department, and the 7970 is cheaper. The only downfall is that it wont match my build color, which is not a big issue if i get more performance for a cheaper card, and I won't get the choice of free games in the never settle bundle for amd. Any thoughts on which one I should choose, I am looking to run Middle Earth: Shadow's of Mordor on some pretty good settings if that helps any.
