Well, I can't choose for you, but I can give you my opinion.

I'm not a genius with the AMD cards, but if i remember right, the 7770 is like a 270 / 270x, right ? Or was that something else ?
Anyway, it's most likely better than my current GPU, Which is an overclocked 560 non-ti, and I play all of those games just fine.
Bf4 on Lowest settings ~80-100Fps anyone ? ^^
If you really don't like your current keyboard, get a new.
If you REALLY want to play max settings, shadowplay, PhysX, etc, get the 770. :)

gpu 100%. Keyboard is more about feeling imo and mechanical is not always the best option whereas more fps is always better and will give you a 100x better experience

Get a newer GPU. A 7770 is quite the choice, but I'd rather pick a 7950, which is at the same price as a GTX 760 in these days, and it has an extra 1GB of VRAM just in case.

i'd get a new GPU, a keyboard isn't really necessary in gaming unless you're really picky. (like me)

"Sulit" (adj.) something that is worth it

i7 8700K 4.8Ghz delidded / Corsair H100i V2 / Asus Strix Z370-F / G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB 3200 / EVGA GTX 1080Ti FTW3 / ASUS ROG SWIFT PG279Q

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB & 250GB - Crucial MX300 M.2 525GB / Fractal Design Define S / Corsair K70 MX Reds / Logitech G502 / Beyerdynamic DT770 250Ohm

I say keyboard for the fact that it will last you so long. You might be in the same spot with having money to spend on an upgrade in 6 months or next year. And getting a GPU later is almost always better if you can deal with your current set up. Where as getting the keyboard in 6 months or next year, it'll essentially be the same keyboard, maybe better LEDs or some other gimmick.
