As a person who is big on hardware this is what I would say (sorry if its being repeated).
I would currently go for the 580, it has better general DX11 performance while eliminating the heat and noise issues of the 400 series, nvidia also has very good driver support. The 580 also scales very well in SLI, although at high resolutions not using DX11 features, ATI beats out nvidia (but that would be using eyefinity). Normally ATI + is the lower price, but as a 580 owner I strongly recommend it. The only problem is the 1.5gb of ddr5 ram, which is alittle stingy and while I would stick with EVGA other companies are adding more ram now although it wont help unless the game is running in dx10.1 and win7/vista/64bit which will take advantage of the larger Vram.
