This is my rig:

-MSI Z97 PC-Mate
-G3258 @ 4.5 GHz
-8 GB DDR3 Ripjaws blue
-Tacens Radix ECO II 600w

I can get both at the same price, but I don't know what is going to be better.

R7 has 2 gigs of vram but 570 is slightly better.

Thanks in advance

The GTX 570 does have slightly better performance, but the R7 260x is a lot newer, has more VRAM and a significantly higher clock speed. You're probably better off buying the R7 260x, because the extra VRAM does help a lot in gaming performance. You can read this online comparison if you'd like.

Radeon is XFX core edition. With warranty still, nvidia does not

I guess I will go for R7 ;)
