I'm thinking about to buy a new graphics card and I want some suggestions if I should change to Nvidia or stay with AMD. I'm working with some 3D work but not much. I'm more in to gaming. The card that is on my mind are:

 

  • ASUS GeForce GTX 660 2GB PhysX CUDA
  • Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB GDDR5
  • XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB GDDR5  
 So these are the card I'm considering to buy. Or do you have any other suggestion? 

Intel Core i7-9800X-3.8GHz  | 2x EK-CoolStream Classic SE 360| Royal RGB 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz  |  ASUSTeK Prime X299-A  | EKWB - MSI GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GAMING X TRIO | Lian Li PC-011 white | Samsung 860 QVO 2TB, 2x 240GB Kingston SSD (RAID 0) & 240GB Kingston NVME Drive | Acer 34" ED347CKR VA Curved 100 Hz | NZXT E- Series 850

270X and 7870 are the same.. Budget?

Around the price range the card I listed. Yes I know that 270x and 7870 are the same but the 7870 are cheaper.  

Intel Core i7-9800X-3.8GHz  | 2x EK-CoolStream Classic SE 360| Royal RGB 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz  |  ASUSTeK Prime X299-A  | EKWB - MSI GeForce RTX 2080 8GB GAMING X TRIO | Lian Li PC-011 white | Samsung 860 QVO 2TB, 2x 240GB Kingston SSD (RAID 0) & 240GB Kingston NVME Drive | Acer 34" ED347CKR VA Curved 100 Hz | NZXT E- Series 850

So i take it that your Budget is $200-250.. I would suggest putting $50 more and getting your self a 

SAPPHIRE 100363VXSR Radeon R9 280X 3GB for $320, or a 680 for around the same price.

Cpu 3970x, Ram Corsair Dominator 32Gb, Case Corsair 900D, Storage Raid 0 Samsung 512Gbs 2 ssds, 1TB WD Black Drive and 2Tb WD Black Drive, Psu Corsair 1200watt, Display Samsung 27inch 2660by1440, Cooling 4 alphacool radiators, 13 fans, Ek rez, 2 pumps, Keyboard Corsair K70, Sound Sennheiser 363d

Yeah that is a good idea but then I have too wait a few more weeks before I can buy a new one. But good idea  :)
