the 780 is above "budget", this is "performance"
however the 290x is the amd equivelant and much cheaper
sorry for any bad english and i hope that this helped u
Did you mean 780 is GTX 780? Try GTX 980 it costs $560. Or if you want the cheaper GTX 970, its just $350 http://allcomputerhardware.tk/vga/evga-geforce-gtx-970-ssc-acx-2-0-4gb-gddr5-256bit-dvi-i-dvi-d-hdmi-dp-sli-ready-graphics-card-04g-p4-3975-kr/
