Help Choosing GPU for Gaming Build

Go to solution Solved by zappian,

290 because its a great deal.

There is a quite a big jump from 280x to 290.

I've been choosing components for a while and thought that you people could give views...

Build-

CPU- i5-4690k

GPU- ( I was looking at r9 280 or 290)

MOBO- MSI Z97 PC Mate

RAM- HyperX FURY Series 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1866MHz

SSD- Crucial MX100

PSU- Corsair CMX600w

CASE- Corsair spec-03

(Sorry for bad list... I mad it on Amazon UK so it's kinda strange)

I know I could get R9 285 or r9 280x but an Amazon the 290 the same price..

I'm not getting a hdd straight away.

I just want to know of the extra £60 pound is worth the money?
