GTX 970 vs R9 280x
Hello! Im maybe going to buy a pc and I want to build it. I wondered which one I should choose. The r9 280x does include some pretty awesome games and it's cheaper while the gtx 970 gives u better perfomance. I will not be like buying very many games and the r9 series bundle seems pretty cool. (I save about $70-$100 if I buy r9 280x)
Which one should I buy?

Obviously the gtx 970 its much better than r9 280x its even better than the r9 290 and gtx 780 by 10 - 15% and its much more future proof comes with some cool features from nvidia has dx 12 support and consumes much less power compared to r9 280x ........145watt TDP compared to 250 watt.

I personally will not compromise the GPU just because of some free games but its my opinion.

I'd second getting the 970 in the long run it'll serve you better. Better drivers and better performance

I would say the 970...but it is ultimately up to what you want the most.
