Personally I'd recommend the 280x, because you'll be getting roughly the exact same performance you'll be pulling with a 770, and for a cheaper price.
Edit: Furthermore, if you're gaming above 1080p resolution (while I wouldn't recommend either of these cards for that) of the two the 280x would outperform at, say, 2560x1440p for example. At 1080p these cards are really rather identical.
The GTX 770 will outperform the 280X.
Also I personally prefer Nvidia for better drive support.
I use 2 monitors so will a 280x be better?I looked in to the current price for each card, and it seems as though right now the 770 is only $20 more than the 280x. So, I'd actually say go with the 770. You *will* get better driver support. However if you're gaming above 1080, stick to the 280x.

So does that mean the 280x will be better in the long run if I ever upgrade to 1440p?If you're running 2x monitors at 1920x1080p, I'd take the 770. If you're running 2x monitors at, say, 2560x1440p, I'd choose the 280x. I'd assume you're running at 1920x1080p.

280x is equal performance to the 770 but runs better at higher resolutions/multimonitors and also supports mantle.
If you care about shadowplay and gameworks the 770 is your thing but since Intel is adopting mantle thats guna be a huge plus for Mantles adaption for mainstream gaming.
I couldn't recommend the 770 due to its price tag and how well mantle is working out.
To put this in perspective how good mantle works on my 8320 with my 260x running the Thief Benchmark I get 43FPS on DirectX and 57 with Mantle if I turn AA down to 8x instead of 16 I keep 60 FPS.
The 280x is better for 2 monitors even at just 720p its comparable in single monitor for 1080p.
For future purposes the extra video ram on the 280x will be a big factor for right now they both offer similar performance its more if you want mantle or shadowplay.
More VRam is important whenever more pixels are going above 1080p or multiple monitorsWasn't aware it would perform better in a multi-screen environment, thanks for that.

The problem with mantle is that, its not adopted mainstream and is in just few select titles which leads to my second point, it helps boost fps in **** gpus/apus, if you get a high end gpu from first time, its useless and with high end gpu, you can get high fps and settings regardless of mantle or not.
Mantle shouldn't be an argument here unless he was buying a r7 250, especially not a potential r9 280x
