What GPU should I choose?

[alejandrosiro]

Hey everybody...

As you obviously know, Nvidia just released the 980 and the 970... 

I'm going to build a Pc, and I had chosen a Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X, that had a lower price than the 780 and was almost as good as. 

But since now the prices will drop, I was considering the 780/780TI from Nvidia, as I'd prefer to buy a "green team" card, as there are a few benefits as better software, and so on... 

What GPU should I get? And if I should go for Nvidia, could you link me some Amazon offers? Remember that if I have to change my mind I have to spend the money I'd spend for the 290... 

By the way, here's the configuration:

 

Intel i5 4690K

 

ASRock Z97 Extreme 4

 

Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 4GB

 

Corsair 8 GB 1600MHz (2x4GB) Low Profile Blue

 

Samsung 840 Evo 250GB

 

WD Caviar Blue 1TB

 

Noctua NH-U9B SE2

 

XFX XXX Edition 650W

 

NZXT Phantom 410

 

Asus VG248QE 24" 144Hz 1ms Monitor

 

Thank you for your help

Gigabyte 970. Can't post a link, I'm on my phone right now sorry. But look around for that card. Performs better than a 290, for much, much cheaper.

@alejandrosiro Get 970, it outperforms 780, and it's around 330$

 

Too bad it's way too expensive here (around 450$)....

 

 

P.S. Remember to follow your topics

Just about any 970

970 is a great choice!

[alejandrosiro]

So it's obvious the best choice is the 970 Thank you
But one other thing: by know, what's the best model?

970.

 

Gigabyte one is pretty good, so is the ASUS Strix and EVGA ACX 2.0.
