Alright so I'm building a new rig, i'm set on the processor and everything. But I am really struggling between my graphics card. I would LOVE a titan Z, but we all know those are for millionaires. So my question is go with the r9 295x2 or 780ti REMEMBER I WILL BE GAMING AT 1080P 120 HZ. I'd really love the extra power and all but i've hear overheating horror stories with the R9 290X and I didn't know if the X2 was the same. I wouldn't think considering it has it's own water cooler, but if anyone could tell me it would be great!

Your best value at 1080p is the R9 290. Temps for non-reference cooled 290 (x) are the same as Nvidia. Most people quote the reference models, which is deceiving. No one would recommend a reference model without some sort of custom cooling.
Below is a pretty good review of the R9 295x2, with comparisons of other cards. Total overkill at 1080p, unless you plan to upgrade to 1440p or 4k:

Both AMD and Nvidia make very good cards. It come down to preference and price.
I always consider price/performance .
