GPU 760 or 770

Hey all

 

I'm going to make a gaming computer for a 10 year old, it will be his first gaming computer. And I'm a bit stuck, don't know if I should go with a GTX 760 or a GTX 770. He is going to pay for it himself, and he don't have that much money at the moment. I would personally go with a GTX 770, but couldn't imagine he would play big demanding games, it's properly something like a MOBA, but I could be wrong. My thoughts about this is that if he goes with a GTX 770 he would be able to have better gaming computer, when he is going to play more demanding games in a couple of years. I'm sorry that I don't have more information, but this is the information I have got from his parents.

 

Would be great if someone have made a gaming computer for a young kid recently, and could give me a tip or two. Or if someone just have some advice or ideas, I would love to hear them.

My setup: i5 3570K  - Corsair H100i - MSI Z77 GD65 - 256 GB Samsung 840 pro SSD - Corsair AX760i - Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 2GB - 4x4 GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer RAM - Corsair Carbide 500R (modded side window)

GTX 760. Capable and good for a few years. Maybe try to bump it down to a 660Ti? Also, get an Athlon X4 750K.

Think I will go for the 700 series, because I believe it's a better choice. And thanks for your CPU advice, I will consider it :)

Personally I havn't had any good experience with radeon cards, I have had two cards both died. So I'm going to stick with something I have had good experience with, but thanks for the advice :)

 

I will read it right away. Thanks :)
