I'm going to build a new pc and make a research on gpus. I have already decided me cpu it's the I5 4690K because of the possibility of OC. I think I'm going for the Asus Radeon R9 280X or Gigabyte R9 280X Windforce, both are overclocked. Which one should I chose ? performance should be the same so the problem is heat and noise.

But in the same price (about 300€/$) I have found the geforce gtx 770. Should I go for this one and if so what manufacturer should i choose and why?

The monitor I am thinking buying is 1920x1080.

The gigabyte is cooler and quieter than the asus and as far as i know the r9 280x has better performance than the 770.

If you want to see a hands on performance of just about any gpu/cpu or both just search it on youtube and you'll find many videos of how they perform on certain games.

they are both so close in performance that you are not going to notice the differences in any modern game. if you prefer a certain flavor, go with that. otherwise i vote for the most vram which the 280x has 3gb. i had a gtx670 2gb once and it hated my highly modded skryim at 1440p. a simple change to a 7950(r9-280) 3gb solved the vram issues i was having immediately. though modded skyrim is a unique vram hog, and not counting skryim.... at 1080p, i do not believe there are any games to date that suffer performance loss on a 2gb card.... yet!
