I say the 2GB Card, I don't think the extra 2GB of VRAM on the 770 is worth that extra price increase.

The second one is slightly faster, it appears.

 

EDIT: But the first one is worth the money, IMO.

For the price of the 770 Classified you can get a GTX 780:

And if you are worried about "refurbished products" you can spend a tiny bit more and get a new GTX 780:

 

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130942 - $529.99

1st one is good enough already. If you think about it, you'll always want more no matter which one you get. So the first thing you should do is realize what you need at the moment and not the 5-year future proof hardware of everybody's dreams :lol:

And, GTX 880's rumoured to come out along with the GTX 870 and 860.

You can bark like a dog, but that won't make you a dog.

You can act like someone you're not, but that won't change who you are.

 

Finished Crysis without a discrete GPU,15 FPS average, and a lot of heart

 

How I plan my builds -

Spoiler

For me I start with the "There's no way I'm not gonna spend $1,000 on a system."

Followed by the "Wow I need to buy the OS for a $100!?"

Then "Let's start with the 'best budget GPU' and 'best budget CPU' that actually fits what I think is my budget."

Realizing my budget is a lot less, I work my way to "I think these new games will run on a cheap ass CPU."

Then end with "The new parts launching next year is probably gonna be better and faster for the same price so I'll just buy next year."
