Is it even worth ?

Hey is it even worth getting a 770 now because of the price drops. I am not sure but it looks like you either get a 760 or 780

If you can get a 780, get a 780 or a 290 with aftermarket cooler if you don't mind AMD.

If you're getting a Shield, sure.

Gsync, possibly.

PhysX? Okay then..

 

The 760 and 770 are pretty much around the same value. 

The 780's value is a bit lower but that's what happens with higher tiered cards.

Alrigthy so I am planning a build and I always get paranoid and revise it so hopefully this is the last time. If you guys would kindly look at the links and tell me which one you would pick you would be a life saver (All the builds are really similar) and I will have three hdds in it not 2

You will be happiest with the first one but You definately need more than 550w for either of the builds with a 770 or 780.

A decent 600w or 650w is required for both those cards.

 

I would also suggest a GIGABYTE or ASUS M-itx motherboard, I know a few people that have had their Asrock motherboards shit themselves and kill their GPU and or CPU. But if you like the Asrock, go for it.

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

No, a decent 550w would be plenty for a 770 or 780. 

There's nothing wrong with Asrock mobos. They just aren't as popular.
