So, I'm building my first gaming pc and I can't choose between these cards. 

Also, should I get the windforce edition from gigabyte or the direct cu ii from saphire?

8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600, 240GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD, 2x1TB WD Greens, CS750M Corsair PSU, Corsair Obsidian 750D

It should be between the GTX 770 and 280X not 760. The 760 is a tier below the 280X and 770. Get a 770 it's a lot cheaper than the ridiculously prices 280X(because of bitcoin and litecoin) 

 

Get the Gigabyte 770, why is everyone suggesting the 280X it's $100 more and not worth it?

well, might be because im buying from spain, but the gtx 770 is 70€ more expensive than the 280x and the 760 and 280x are practically the same price

Wow that's some shit. Well if it's that much cheaper get the Gigabyte or MSI R9 280X then.

I guess i'm doing that... because of that weird pricing I didn't consider the 770 and only the 760...

Pricing on the 280X is absolutely insane right now. The Vapor-X that I bought back in October for $320 from newegg, is currently listed at $460, on newegg. At these kind of prices, I would get a 770.

 

I have actually kicked around the idea of selling my 280X at a profit and then ponying up the difference for a 780 non-ti.

The 280x is pretty much neck to neck with the 770.

The 760 isn't an appropriate matchup.
