So ive been planning a build to fit into my $1200 budget all summer, and all i need now is my gpu. First, i was going for a 780, but it was too expensive. Then i went for the r9 290, which was again, a little too much. So now im going for the gtx 770s. Ive been looking at tons of non reference cards, and i want to pick either the asus direct cu ii oc card, or the gigabyte windforce card. Which one is better? Or should i choose another card, which is not any of these? my budget for the card is like 370, give or take a few dollars.

 

please help TAHKNS :D

I'd actually get the r9 280x unless you specifically need shadowplay and/or cuda cores. Also, how exactly can you not get an r9 290 in a $1200 computer...

 

In the event that you actually NEED Nvidia, then I'd get an EVGA GTX770 w/ acc since its a great card and can be upgraded to a gtx780 by paying the difference.

Uhm, you are getting cards with aftermarket coolers, so not reference. I'd go with the Asus one, better cooler.

It's not horrible, it is just not great. It's performance is mediocre, but it is not horrible. You know what's horrible? The Gigabyte Rev.1 and ASUS models. They get the same temps, but they have no excuse to.

If your willing to ramp up your budget just a smidge http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/yxNst6

If not http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/vDKnyc for 70$'s less than your budget which brings me to the third option which is:
