Advice for a new GPU: MSI R9 380 4g, MSI GTX 970 4g, Gigabyte GV-R939G1 8g, Gigabyte gv-n970wf3 4g

Hello,

I bought a new pc a while ago with the idea of improving the GPU later on. Now the time has come!

I have the follwing specs:
Intel core i7-4770
8 Gb
1 Tb HD
Windows 8.1 64b

Resolution I'll play in: 1920x1080
Games don't need to be on superultra settings, but I would like to play them comfortably on high settings. I can provide more details when I'm home about my specs.

I want to play games like:
Shadows of Mordor
Far Cry 4
Skyrim with mods
Fallout 4?

I went to the shop that sold me the desktop and they said these would be good choices for me:
MSI R9 380 4g
MSI GTX 970 4g
Gigabyte GV-R939G1 8g
Gigabyte gv-n970wf3 4g

I already did some research on various websites and the MSI GTX 970 4g looks very appealing, apparantly this card has low energy usage and warmth/sound. But as I have found the MSI R9 380 4g is cheaper (going around 280 euros) but I'll probably need a new power supply. The other 2 cards I had more trouble finding good info on.

Anyone who can give me some advice?

Thanks in advance for your time,

Rob

I would get a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 8G. It's a good card, and is free from the whole "4GB" of the gtx 970.

Id get the 970 and call it a day, 4gb (3.5gb) will be fine playing at 1080, and you will be able to play most games high/ultra
