I just sold my trusty 760 to a mate for 85, so will be looking for a new GPU in the next few months. Yes, months. I haven't gamed at all on PC recently, and have an XBox One, so I've no need for a GPU currently, but will look to get one before my move to university. Question is, which to go for?
I'm not bias towards either company - I'm happy to buy which ever is quicker. I'm only really interested in buying second hand, since they drop in price dramatically otherwise (paid 170 for my 760 a year ago!). Anyway, I don't want to spend much more than 200, if at all. Again, not interested in new at all.
I have a 1440p monitor, but don't mind too much playing at 1080p should I need to (upscaled, of course). Since I'm going to uni, I won't have the money to keep upgrading and would like to go for something that'll offer good performance for a few years.
I was primarily looking at an R9 290, and with 390(x) hopefully releasing in the next few months, it should drop in value.
If anyone has some recommendations, that'd be great!

Should be released in a couple of months, I believe, so the other cards will drop in price.
