I'm going to upgrade my video card, and willing to go snag one today for the right price and fit. Can you guys recommend some options? I read http://www.anandtech.com/show/7703/desktop-video-card-buyers-guide-january-2014 -- and was looking at the AMD Radeon R9 270X and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770.
Open to other ideas -- more than appreciated!
