Crossing my fingers for the 490. I can go as high as $350 but would rather stick to $300. I don't PC game a lot, it would be mainly for Dark Souls games and maybe a couple others. But i'd be content with 2560x1440 resolution as the widescreen is mainly for work.

At this point i'm strongly leaning for Intel. I'm positive I wont have regrets. But I really like AMD

Don't go AMD for the CPU right now. They are terrible value for money.
They are hot and have terrible performance.

The Radeon 480 8Gb is actually a fairly decent card for 1440P, sure you won't get 60fps in every game, but at an average of 40fps across most titles, it's pretty respectible and it does switch into another gear entirely once you flick the Direct X 12 switch.

I would personally want more, but if you are on a budget, it's worth considering.

True. I will wait to see what the 490 brings to the table.
