AMD: Extremely f*cking powerful and can plow almost anything, Doesn't last long and generates a Sh*t ton of heat and breaks down faster
NVIDIA: A little less powerful but still very powerful. Better cooling and longer lasting. More efficient.
I prefer NVIDIA.

wrong xD
my r9 280 produces 2x less heat than my 650ti, or my brothers 660.
Also, nvidia is still ahead of AMD in terms of raw power, but you pay out the ass for it.

The new GPU that AMD is releasing is said that its going to be powerful but like true AMD fashion, breaks down. 650ti maybe be hotter and stuff but it has more reliable cooling methods.

eh, one fan is unreliable as hell.
the only actually hot cards from amd are
reference cards
295x2 (if you wanna burn down your neighborhood, buy one of these)

Oh my...that comic had me in tears. That's actually really funny.
I personally like Nvidia cards more. I'm going to get a 960/970 once I get enough money. Then my build will be complete.
I'm laughing at "if you wanna burn down your neighborhood, buy one of these". You are making some good points for AMD cards though. I do like R9 series and if I were to select something other than Nvidia, it would definitely be one of those cards. probably the 280x.

280x is probably the best midrange card at the moment, until the 380/380x comes out.
edit: Go for the 280x over the 960, it is better. Only flaw would be that AMD drivers are slightly behind.

I don't know if you've heard recently but the AMD 390x is suppose to destroy any Nvidia card. I have a GTX 970 at the moment and I am not impressed. I'm waiting for the AMD card to come out in possibly June so I can run 4k at ultra settings.
What I recommend:
For high performance at a better price go for an AMD card.
As for Nvidia they're meh and really expensive. I does really count down to what you're going to be doing.
.. GTX 970s really do suck... Just no.
I also have a AMD 8350 as a CPU. Not only does it have very good price to performance, it gives me no issues, I've also never used more than around 48% of my CPU running at 4K so far. Intel, well.. I'm speaking a little bias but people fan-boy over Intel way too much. It's overpriced and it's not necessary for 'gamers' to have a $1000+ CPU.
People are too focused on having a Intel CPU because they think it's 'cool' and that their systems will be better because of it when in reality it won't do jack poop for gaming. Maybe if you're an architect rendering models maybe so?
Back to the matter, look up AMD API (Mantle). Having a AMD CPU and a AMD card, that can really optimize your system.
Some advise: Do your research!!!! Watch reviews, get some benchmarks, compare specs, and see for your self what you really need. Having DDR4 RAM with Intel's I7 may be a big improvement on RAM but really.. You seriously DO NOT need that. Unless you're a speed hog that wants a 0.0001 response time on your system you might as well just burn money xD
I wish you luck on your system! And a $90 PC running 1080p Ultra is a lie... Even the graphics card it's self would have to cost more than that
