I'd personally go for the GTX 770 as the other one is "toxic" and you don't really wanna get your hands on that. :D:P

i was leaning towards the 770 because of the power consumption thing it will make that money diffrence yes it is going to take a long time to do that but i am going to be running this card for 2-3 years and it costs 20 $ dollars more

Rightio! I think I'll just stop asking. :unsure:

BTW, if you're annoyed over my GPU comment, I's just being facetious. I actually would go with what ever GPU gave the overall best performance and suited my needs. ;)

Nah, haha, no worries mate. You just made me confused and I don't get confused easily. No hard feeling man. It's all good. :D

Thought, to be honest, you did seem like were a bit of a jerk. But text doesn't always convey things well. ;)

Isn't a gtx 970 in that same price range? It's a lot better than both of those

Unless you can find a 770 at an outrageously good price, the 970 is definitely the way to go. Incredible performance and lower power consumption to boot!

You were a noob once too!
