Ok so i am gonna build a new gaming rig soon.I have choosen the parts and now im stuck at THE GPU. I am down to the sapphire r9 290x trix and the msi gtx780 ti. I had a huge list to choose from (link = https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AstBhhc_xqludFp0bDUzYjd1X0RjZVAwaGFPRWt1RFE&gid=0) and i came down to these two due to their acceptable performance in crysis 3, thats how i chose GPU'S.So i just need some help in choosing the right gpu for running crysis 3 at 1080p at ultra if possible.

Crysis 3 is an AMD optimized game so if thats the only worry you have go for the 290x. But TBH the 780ti/290x are a bit overkill for 1080p gaming.

780ti because I believe the features Nvidia offers with its GPUs are more useful.

I would wait for maxwell and whatever the new line of amd gpus is, if you are not in a rush

MSI Z87-GD65 - GTX 760 DirectCU II - i5 4670k @4.0GHz - 16GB Corsair Vengeance @1866 MHz

290X vs 780ti... Go for an 780 and then later buy one more 780, that will be sick. Trust me, I got an 780ti and I would rather have 2x 780s than one 780ti ;)

I would go R9 290 for 1080p. Though if the 780Ti is really close to the price of the 290X, go for the 780Ti, though I don't think that will happen.
