I have been recently searching for a new graphics card in the higher quality end. I have had few options and some time to think about it and it has come down to 2 graphics cards. An EVGA gtx 970 4GB Superclocked ACX 2.0 and the ASUS r9 290x 4GB DirectCU II OC. After seeing some benchmarks I can tell that both graphics card are somewhat similar performance wise. I would like to know which one would be best/easiest to overclock because I'm planning to get out as much performance as I can from my new GPU. At the moment there is a great deal on the 290x, about $310 (23% discount), and the gtx comes in at $335. Any advice or opinions on the cards would be greatly appreciated. Below I have my current build a links to the 2 graphics cards. Thank you for your time!
