Well, as mentioned this is the first PC I'm in the process of buying parts for/building. I've already chosen and bought my CPU and Motherboard(The AMD FX 8350 and a ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z ATX AM3+), but I'm at a crossroads of a sort in figuring out what GPU I want. I'd like to be able to play most modern games at medium to high graphics(or, Yknow, Skyrim with lots of mods).
I don't know if I should get an R9 285 or a R9 290(X?). I don't know how much better the 290 is compared to the 285, or if the 290 is more then what I need.
Next is what brand, or does that even matter? I really don't want to spend a few hundred dollars on the GPU to find out that the brand I went with is known to have products that fail half the time.
Thank you in advance for the help.
