Allo all, I am in need of opinions, facts, and pointers on two very volatile gpu's.
But first a little backstory.
I am now currently in the process of selecting the parts to build a rather beefy gaming computer. My budget is going to be rather high, as I have allocated roughly 1600$ ((but will go as low as 1500$ and as high as 2000$ *wallet sweating intensifies* )). I already have the CPU and motherboard to match in mind, and not to mention a 32GB ram setup, but have come to a dead and complete stop in selecting the graphic card. I know that I am going to need a hunk of change no matter what card I choose, and with that, I am aiming for either a Radeon R9 290, or the GeForce GTX 980. These two have been known to duke each other out on any platform, and on any game. I am torn between the two for several reason, like the price tag, interface, etc. I need your help here, forums...
Which card and why?
I have read everywhere and looked far and wide for a feasible answer, but to no avail.
If it is worth mentioning, the processor in mind would be an Intel i7 Quad Core.
But I am at the end of rope ((and patience, for heck's sake)). Give me some ups, downs, and all-arounds about each card, please.
And with that, many thanks far in advance~!
