i don't play computer games, but i'm pretty sure the Radeon R9 line is pretty decent for gaming. i know most gamers prefer Nvidia though.
i suppose it depends on which you'll be doing more. if you primarily play games and only occasionally crack hashes, then go with some top-of-the-line Nvidia GPUs. the performance-per-dollar won't be there for hash cracking, but it will still be decently fast compared to what you are using now. if you want oustanding hash cracking performance and good (but maybe not the best) gaming performance, then the 290X is probably your best bet.
