Hello guys!!!

 

Did some research in the forum before posting. could not find it.

 

So which way would you go ? i will be using i7 intel core 4770k 

 

Asus 770 OC

OR 

 

EVGA 770 OC

I kinda like boost 2.0

Are you set on Nvidia??

 

If not then seriously wait until AMD's 9000 series cards :P

The ASUS card has a re-designed PCB as well. So you'll get more efficiency and lower heat output from other components.

Which ever one looks best to you, they both perform about the same and if you are only gaming I would go with a 4670K.

Although if he wants to water cool later on...

 

Edit: I guess they generally do release waterblocks for the DCU2 cards

Just get the cheapest dual/triple fan cooler 770 or look at a 7970.

The higher price is not worth the small performance gain considering you should be overclocking it anyway.

if you're watercooling down the road then go EVGA also they have the best costumer service i have ever spoken with. The asus card will perform better temperature wise but if you're going water then it doesn't really matter anyways.

$400 range

$400 range

Well, I would wait if possible but if not I prefer the Asus card.

i was not thinking of water cooling , maybe down the road. Do you guys think this cards will go down in about 3 months? because i wont be able to complete my build till about 3 months

It will depend on the 9XXX series on if it drops price and by how much.

Just get a 7970. It's nearly neck to neck with the 770, has more vram, and is significantly cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202008&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
