GPU Choice Help

[TheNewGuyWhoNeedsHelp]

Hi whoever is reading this. I need help deciding what GPU(s) to get. Right now I've decided on two Diamond Radeon R9 290X's. Does anyone know if there is any better card? I won't mind having two in SLI/Crossfire, just as long as they're blower style, if theres a better single GPU then any cooler would be nice, except watercooling. (Uses too much room with the radiator) Oh yeah, also I don't really care what type of GPU you suggest to me (AMD or Nvidia) Also I don't worry about noise. (Have a hearing loss and wear headphones with my computer usually)

I've heard bad things about R9 290(X) blower coolers, namely that they're noisy and [strike]loud[/strike] hot. You could look in to GTX 970s, I've sees some ones with blower-style coolers.

Besides the fact that they're noisy and loud, do they have bad cooling? Also I updated the end of the beginning post.

How about the R9 390x they come with 8GB but I don't think AMD card normally offer blower cooling versions.

EVGA has some blower versions like this model:

Sorry, typo, meant to say noisy and hot. So no, they don't have particularly good cooling. I've seen reviews where the cards get up to 95 C.

Yeah I think I'll be going with the nvidia's reference 970, although is it usually normal for people to get around 80 degrees?
