I had been planning to put an after-market cooler on a reference card, but I recently found that PowerColor. That would simplify my build considerably

 

I have a Powercolor myself. The cooling is fantastic but it's noisy and it's BULKY. It takes 2.5 slots and if you are looking to cross-fire it, i won't recommend Powercolor. Go with Sapphire Tri-X. With two of these on cross-fire i think you can safely game at 1440p guaranteed 60FPS on most max out for 7-8 years to come. Of course if you don't go 4K. But the GPU market hasn't been maturized for 4K yet so 2 of these i believe you can even max out The Witcher 3.

 

And of course, for myself i would rather go water-cooling for my next-generation rig.

I have one myself. It's superbly awesome. I'm getting average of 50+ FPS on 1440p Crysis 3 mixed of High and Very High settings. If it's 1080p i think no doubt 60FPS is easily achieved. And that is Crysis 3.

 

I'm using a Dell U2711 monitor, so I'm gaming on 2560x1440 as well. Currently still using a GTX 580, and while it has served well, I need a card with a bit more power for more recent and upcoming games.  

 

I'm not entirely sure which manufacturer to go with for a R9 290 yet, the GTX 580 I'm using is a triple-slot card from ASUS so the size isn't important, I have plenty of free space in my case. A backplate would be welcome as well, but that's mostly for aesthetical reasons.

That is good to know.  Hopefully my new 7790 video card plus my older Phenom II x4 960T processor will be enough to run DAI on high settings.

I just tried another level in BF4 on high settings with vsync disabled. I got about 40 fps with DirectX 11 and 60 with Mantle. That's a significant difference.
