GTX 760 or the R9 280/280x

So my preference is Nvidia however the AMD cards are stated above are performing a little better. I'm confused which to buy and why.

GTX 760 < R9 280 < R9 280x

if you have the money get 280x else 280 should be your option!

I was thinking of spending a bit more money for a 770 or is the 280X enough?

280x is very good gpu and on par with gtx770. you dont really need to spend the extra money! what is the rest of your specs?
