Alright, I cannot decide on a Manufacturer for my GPU for my first custom built gaming PC. I like the design on both these GPUs

But I know Style isn't everything, I also want to make sure it performs well, I won't be using multiple Monitors, and im a heavy gamer. I'm on a Budget of $1,300.
With $100 going towards to the Mouse and Keyboard. So really, $1,200 for the Computers insides and the monitor.

My current specs are:

CPU: i5-4670K
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme4 ATX LGA1150
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 8gb (2 x 4gb)
Storage: 1TB WD Blue Caviar 7200 RPM HDD
GPU: GTX 770(Haven't decided on a Manufacterer)
Monitor: Acer GD235HZbid 23.6"

Im hoping to be able to do most games like BF4/MMORPGs/Single Player games at 1080p max settings, or atleast close to max.

the total cost would be around $1171.93.
 


I have had quite good luck with ASUS products over the years and their GTX 570 line was amazing. Zotac also has quite a good reputation. In all honesty, I would go for the one that you really like in design. Just a note, not to thread hijack or anything, but I would actually use a 3570K or even an AMD 8350 (BF4 is optimized for AMD JSYK) since the 3570K OCs more while runs cooler. The Haswell 4670K is at most a 5% upgrade which can be made up quite easily. Be sure to pack a decent cooler like a Hyper 212 Plus/EVO or above. There is also the EVGA GTX 770 ACX and I have heard they have great reliability, superb customer service and amazing warranties. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921
