Hey all,
Looking for some general advise as I have some spare cash available.
Looking to upgrade my current GPU to either a GTX780 or an AMD R9 290X.
Also looking at upgrading my current SSD to a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD as I only have 5GB left on my current one.

So, should I go GTX780 or R9 290x ?
Based on my current build, is there anything you would change to improve performance ?
Based on my current build and with the addition of a new card, is there anything I need to change to accomodate either the GTX780 or R9 290x ?

Happy with my case and current temps are fine.
Airflow is not an issue and the case is very spacious.

Current Build -->

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
CPU: AMD FX8350 @ Stock
GPU: Asus GTX 660TI (2GB) @ Stock
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
RAM: Corsair XMS3 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1333MHz (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
SSD: Corsair Force 60GB SSD (Boot Drive)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500GB (7200 RPM 32MB 3GB/S SATA) - (ST500DM005)
HDD: Seagate 1TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3 - (ST1000DM003)
PSU: EVGA Super NOVA 850W (220-G2-0850-XR)

All thoughts/help welcome.
Cheers.

Unless its a 780ti buy the R9 290x
If it is a 780ti then still buy the R9 290x
