There seems to be a slight bottleneck. Why are so many background apps running?

That's a good idea, but what I meant was you shouldn't be running those apps in BG anyways. Post a screenshot of task manager please.

Are we getting BF4 bundle with R9 280X here in India?

yes get the R9 290 which can be modified to R9 290x
not really a good idea with the crappy stock cooler to go with 290 CF, better wait for Asus or Sapphire to release CUII or VapoX. 280X CF makes more sense though, or 770SLI, also the pre-flashed 290's ( read 290X ) have little oc headroom, a mere 2-3% boost against 90+ temp not recommended.

I will stick with AMD . So, better wait for R9 290 custom colling versions. And how legitimate is it that it can be modified? Is that stable?

of course its stable, and it will OC good too, read the toms guide to use Arctic 3, its temps are decent enough, no throttling. Custom cooled versions from IB's will obviously be stabilized with custom MOS, better PWMs, copper bases, and not to mention a really good quality cooler and heatsink assembly in which AMD unquestionably is trailing far far behind Nvidia in their stock units. if i were you i would go for a 770 SLI (stock) or 280X CF and then OC like hell But R9-290 is undoubtedly THEBEST choice at $400.
the 150$ premium for 8% more performance to 290X can be marginalized to precise extent with a OC'ed Direct CU2 with may be just 50$ more.

With the latest nvidia drivers GTX760 beats R9 280X right in gaming performance.So will GTX650 Ti Boost beats HD7870 with the same nvidia drivers? I am in a dilemma right now whether to go with this card or not? Also GTX650 Ti Boost SLI beats R9 280X in gaming performance or not? Please clarify my doubts?
^^ not every R9 290 can be modified into the X version ... only a handful few supports this among which xFx is one but you better not get a xFx card.
yes, anyone who are planning on getting a R9 290 [ x ] should get custm cooled version only.

I too saw in one of the threads regarding GTX780 Ti and cannot find it now. Even one TDF member quoted a link when asked about?
