I have been planning this build for a couple months now, and have actually decided on both of those cards at one time or another. I had finally settled on the R9 280X, so I bought a 750w psu to prepare for one, then this craziness with the prices happened. I have been toying with the idea of a 770, but if I got one, I feel like I should go ahead and get one with 4gb vram so I could SLI in the future and still have plenty of ram. If I do that, though, we're talking almost $400, and that's just more than I can spend, as I have a budget of around $500 and I still have to get some other components. It might be wiser, then, to just get the R9 270X, but I want to be able to run BF4 at ultra 1080p smoothly, and that card won't do that, will it?
