Hello guys, i need some opinion.

I'm about to upgrade my gpu. Should i get the Palit GTX970 Jetstream or the Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X?

Which performs better? Which is more durable and less heat?

And one thing to ponder. My psu is ACBel 510 watt. I believe if i choose R9-290 Tri-X, i have to buy a more powerful psu. Thus, does it worth it to spend another few quids just to accomodate the R9-290 Tri-x?

Another thing is, my casing is Cooler Master Elite 370. Does R9-290 Tri-X fits into it? Because from the dimension it seems like its just enough but maybe a little too compact?

I have a soft spot to Sapphire because I've been a Sapphire loyal customer since my first time i built my gaming pc.:)

Yes true. The price is a bit higher. But what do you think of my psu? Is 510 watt enough for this Palit?

What's your build? 510 should be enough.
