I just built a Console Killer build (G3258 and 750ti) running Ubuntu 14.04. I use the PC for streaming CS:GO and playing SNOW and Minecraft with Shaders. I had a r7 370, but I returned it because of the bad driver on Linux. I am planning on getting Windows in the next month or so, and was wondering if I should of kept the 370 because I can return the 750ti.
Thanks

The R9 370 is a better performing GPU, so if you are getting a Windows licence, it's worth having that little more raw graphics power. But since you play not that GPU-intensive games, there won't really be a difference.

Console Killer=Gtx980
In the near future of course because for its expensive.
Anyway r7 370 is better than gtx750ti (around 20% better performance to be precise).
I know for a fact that moderate budget (lower than 300$) gpus can do better than consoles, meaning you can play without aliasing for example. Depending on the gpu you can efford.
I have gtx980, but no matter the graphics card, the overall build counts more in the performance than your Gpu alone, Gpu=/= Console power, Whole Pc Build>Console power.
For what you play these will do.
