Hi all. Cracking my head a little trying to decide on this but not 100% sure which direction to go.
Just sold my 7990 (for much more than I thought I would - courtesy of the mining craze) and would like a single card to replace it with. The rest of the system is as per sig below. The system is used at 1080p. Ideally I wanted an R290 with a custom cooler but these will be delayed by a while and I'm not sure I can wait. The 290X windforce is currently in stock but it doesn't seem like great value compared to the R290.
Alternatively was looking at a 780 but mainly the 780 classified or the lightning. Wouldn't be totally against the idea of a 780ti although performance/value ratio would be less.
I play well-threaded games like BF4/Crysis 3 so bottlenecking with the FX8320 isn't a massive issue.
