EVGA 750 Ti FTW or GTX 760 for entry level gaming

[TheMetalborn]

So I am starting to buy parts for my first computer build, and im kind of stuck on what GPU I want, should I get the EVGA 750 TI FTW and have a little more money to spend on more parts or eventually get a better GPU or spend a little more money and just get a 760, and if so which 760? I mainly play Smite, World of Tanks, Wargame, LoL, Borderlands and Warthunder but there are a few other games I do want to play that are a little high end like Battlefield 3, Arma and Mass Effect and I would like to record and livestream too.

What do you guys think??

If you have the money get a GTX 760, it will let you play anything at good settings

Get the 760 if you can afford it. Any top brand is fine. (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI etc.)

For the games you currently play, a 750ti would be your best bet, I'm confident you will be allowed to play those other games mentioned as well, maybe not on high-ultra, but at a very playable setting.  I would skip the 760 and get a 770 if you are going to go more high end, but for what you play, it is overkill.  The 750ti is the card for you based on the games you currently and want to play.

The 760 destroys the 750Ti. It's well worth the extra $50 you can get them for.

The least expensive 760 I've seen is for $240.  But, by all means, if you can find a 760 for $200, then pick that up ASAP.  I still think a 750 will be more than enough for what you use and plan on using this card for.  a 760 will give you more headroom for the future, but I would go ahead and go 770 if you are going to look towards longevity with your purchase.  A 750ti will be plenty good for many years to come, you might not be able to run at high-ultra settings in years to come like with a 760/770, but that card will still allow you to play the games you want to play for at least 3 years, maybe longer if you make performance quality sacrifices.  I still think that for what you aim to do, a 750ti is your best buy, unless you find a 760 for $200, then buy that 760 and don't look back.

@Faceman there were two in the Store, I think there's still one there. They pop up quite frequently on the EVGA B Stock website for $199.

The 750Ti, for the price, isn't a very compelling value. Honestly I'd consider the 260x over the 750Ti, it does very close or beats it on most tests and is even cheaper.
