Hey guys !
The time has finally come for my GPU upgrade and it will happen this saturday. I'll be playing games on my 120Hz 1080p Monitor.
With the increased prices on AMD cards i've been looking at the GTX 780 and found the Palit Jetsream GTX 780 going for $589 on PC Case Gear

The Gigabyte version is only $10 more......

A reference R9 290X is going for around $640 atm.
I love AMD (something about supporting the underdog I guess) however if I think critically about this i'm leaning more on the lines of the GTX 780, all emotions aside
The other option was the R9 290. I could grab one of the non reference cards for under $550........
If you could all be so kind to help give me some mental clarity with what would be the "best" choice out of the listed options- all loyalties aside that would be great.
I would appreciate your advice ! Please cast your vote and offer any insights you have
Thank you
