Hi you guys. Now I have picked my cpu which is the Intel 4670k Haswell, and Motherboard which is the Asus Maximus VII Hero. I am deciding on a graphics card the two that I've narrowed it down to is the Radeon R9 290x vs the MSI 780 TF 3GD5/OC. What are your opinions on these two GPUs? And have a great Memorial Day!
 
Solution
A R9 290 trade blows with the GTX 780. The R9 290X isn't really worth it when a R9 290 can be overclocked to the same performance.
Either R9 290 or GTX 780 is fine, go with the one you like the best aesthetically or the cheapest.

For the price both are great choice but I recommend to go with the 780X and intel gives great performance with Nvidia cards.The 780 would be perfect
 


It's rather debatable since the R9-290X is a faster card overall. But I would have to agree that the GTX 780 would still be a great card on an Intel build.
