I am building a pc mainly for gaming I was originally going to get a gtx 770 then i decided to get a Sapphire Radeon R9 290. Which one would you reccomend out of those two and is there another graphics card you would reccomend?

The Sapphire Tri-X 290 runs pretty cool actually (and also has 3 fans)

But seriously, it's all about what resolution you will be gaming on and if you ever want to add a second card. The 290 has a huge advantage in ultra high res monitors like 1440p, 1600p, or 5760x1080p, and the 290 has an even bigger advantage in a 2 card setup over the 770 or even the 780.
But in a single 1080p monitor, the 770 is almost as good, and would be the smarter buy IMO.
