I'm looking to upgrade my GPU. These are the two cards that are on my list right now, and they are both priced around the $350~. I currently have 1080p and don't have any interest in going higher in resolutions. I will be mainly playing games such as Far Cry 4, AC:U, BF4, etc. Also what will the performance difference be with overclock.
Sorry if this question has been asked a million times, I just need an updated answer because I've spent all week reading reviews on these 2 cards and they seem pretty much neck and neck.
**One of the things that concern me is that I have a CM 690 II Advanced, and I'm not sure if the 290x Lightning will fit in my case. I'm able to remove the hard drive slots on the bottom, but unsure if that is enough.
Thanks!
