What kind of Games will you be playing? Some are optimized better for Nvidia, and some are more for AMD.

If your playing a mixture, I would get the 880 since you already using Nvidia anyways.

Sorry Yes i meant the 780. Watchdogs alone will perform worlds better then the AMD, as it is built on Nvidia's GameWorks. If i were you i would go with the 780. And $395? That is a killer price!
