Which combo should i get?

[PachiiAxe]

Gigabyte z97 ud5h- R9 280x toxic

Msi z97 mpower-msi gtx 770 lighting 2gb

My pc theme its yellow and black l... couple of questions:

1-Which its better for gaming and overclocking?

2-Watchdogs consumes 3gb vram so r9 280x toxic more future proof?

3-Are the drivers good? Im really scared about that, and if i want to update should i download amd catalyst and delete older drivers or it will auto overwrite them with no problems?

4-Its mantle good? Ive seen videos where mantle api ITS a difference in gaming...

Ill be playing bf4, bf hardline, dayz sa, etc...


Who ever responds in 1, 2, 3, 4 format will get the best solution..

Thanks

1, Both mobos are good for overclocking.
2, Watch Dogs only consumes 3 GB of VRAM when you play it wit everything on ultra.
3, IMO, nVidia drivers are better and more stable.
4, Mantle MIGHT make a difference but consider nVidia Advanced Physx...
Overall, if you run multi-monitor, get AMD. If not, get nVidia.
