Even though you live in a hot climate it should keep relatively cool as it ha three fans.

Between the two go with gtx770 hands down.
gtx 770 is comparable with a 290x.

Wrong. R9 280X and GTX 770 is equally good. They perform similar at 1080p. At 1440p, the R9 280X will beat the GTX 770 in most games.
The GTX 780 is comparable with the R9 290 and R9 290X

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

The r9-280x toxic is the best card for a standard gaming PC. I have it and I never had any issues with it.

mmm I second the vote on the GTX 770. It outperforms the 280X at 1080p by a negligible difference. I also bought the 770 because the upcoming games are working alot more with Nvidia so a better optimization for Nvidia cards. I hardly see AMD doing the same only recently with mantle. It'll be long before a good amount of games will actually use mantle.

If the price difference between the 280x and the GTX 770 is too large then get the cheaper one. However if it's something you can handle then definitely get the 770.

BTW if you do get the 770, I'd prefer something like Gigabyte, MSI or EVGA rather than ASUS
