760 vs 770

[Smithy2402]

For my build, because of my budget I am not sure if I should get a 'high end' 760 or the cheapest 770, any thoughts?

[FireFox]

I would personally save the extra and get the GeForce GTX 770

[SAV1OUR]

770 any day

what "high end" cards are you talking about 

[coen113]

the cheapest 770 is the windforce one right? i would go with that one, even the reference cooler on the 770 is pretty good

[Smithy2402]

what "high end" cards are you talking about

Just the most expensive ones

The cheapest I found was a PNY. Are they any good?

[gigabyte]

2x 760 for more performance, I'd prefer a 770 myself tho.

[Clarkey]

Definitely save for a 770 for its price its a good card. Or if you arent bothered about AMD the 290 is around the same price as a 770 (depending where you live)and is  better if you dont want shadowplay.

they are ok but MSI 770 is like 320 last time i saw it and that is a very good card but i am asking what high end 760s are you talking about because there really is no high end of that card really just different and "better" coolers

I have just thought, the 770 is super but should I get a 4670k with a 770 or a 4770k with a 760?

No doubt the 4670k with a 770. in 90% of games it will help more having a better gpu than a better CPU.

This is a great list of components but I would rather go and start off with the i5 4670 k than an AMD Based system

AMD's CPU just have the better price to performance when it comes to 150 ish to 200 ish CPU's. 

[EpicGeekonFire]

What do you mean by "high end"? More Mem?

[nixproducer]

770 with i5 always go for more gpu power rather than cpu power when you are gaming

[Smithy2402]

What do you mean by "high end"? More Mem?

No, I didn't say it correctly. Just the most expensive, so higher clock speed

[EpicGeekonFire]

No, I didn't say it correctly. Just the most expensive, so higher clock speed

That not really worth it as you can Oc yourself on a cheaper card.

[xtroria]

No, I didn't say it correctly. Just the most expensive, so higher clock speed

OC in GPU these days is beyond easy. Even the cheapest 770 would have either windforce, direct CU II, ACX cooler or twin frozr where all four of them are extremely good and provide a lot of breathing room for OC
