My usage case is mainly for a multi monitor set up. Initially i will have 2 monitors adding a third at some point.1 is a TV that I stream Netflix, YouTube and other stuff to. One will be a gaming monitor and the third will be just basic web browsing stuff. At points all three will be in use gaming on the main web pages on the second and streaming movies to the TV. Yes I like to multi task lol.

 

The cpu is Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.5 GHZ 8 MB Cache BX80646I74770K

 

I was looking at a 780 3gb

or a 770 4gb 

Gigabyte GTX 770 GDDR5-4GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP OC WINDFORCE 3X Graphics Card GV-N770OC-4GD

 

For the 780 I am looking at the EVGA super clocked cards 

 

What is the best of these for my usage. I want the games to look good but they don't have to be ultra I want 60 fps to 120 fps depending on what monitor i decided on. Will be 1080p for all 3 not more.

 

Or if you have a better suggestion I am open not an AMD fan though I would prefer Nvidia as it is the platform I am used to max price is about $600 usd

I agree with everyone else, get the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780. It's the fastest card for your setup.

Coomnzy I am not talking about surround gaming I mean on a single monitor. I have done this stuff all the time with my g74sx laptop. But with BF4 it is clear that my laptop wont be able to run Titanfalll and Watch Dogs next year. With Christmas soon and the recent gtx price drop i am hoping for some amazon sales on Cyber Monday. It also depends on the game like BF4 it has no problem but some games like Saints Row 3 have issues. IT is all dependent on if they support multi monitors. with eve you can run three copies of the game on 3 screens all in full screen mode. So its just a matter of if its supported as far as i know anyway it has been 5 years since i used a desk top but i cant imagine its that much different then a laptop
