I don't really know which to get. All of them are about the same price (maybe a $15 dollar difference). I intend to have multiple graphics cards in the future (up to three) so that plays a big factor as well.
All will have its own pros and cons, that's why you just need to find the best one that will suit you. For your case, you want to SLI in the future, Nvidia is the way to go. I'm not saying that ATI doesn't have a chance against Nvidia in their xfire, but they have their issues now. They promise to solve it at the end of July with their new drivers.
The 770 would be the best if they all have the same price, and specially when you have plans on sli/xfire. ATI has been having troubles with their drivers when xfiring. Some stuttering issues.

I have heard of that, but i havent been able to find anyone who will tell me how bad it is.

Well i will have the money to build by November so hopefully someone will make a review with the new drivers.
If you are going to SLI then you have to go for at least a 3 GIG card. You will max 2 gigs of ram on a single card. If you are going 3 way in the future then i would recommend a 4 gig card. so you have a gtx 670 there but there is also one gtx 760 with 4 gigs by evga out there and that is the direction I would go. they are always sold out at $280. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130937&Tpk=gtx760&IsVirtualParent=1

GTX 670 4GB is not worth it. Because of 670's limitation, Memory Interface width is only 256Bit which doesn't utilize that much of vram (4GB). SO what's the point of getting 4GB if it doesnt make difference because of its limitations?

But doesnt the gtx 770 have the same memory interface width?

Yes but that doesn't mean it's weak. I'm only talking about the 4GB version not worth it. And yeah save some money and get the 780.
i think the 780 is the first to go up to 384 bit interface.
I was also talking about the 760 not the 670.
At least at first, GeForce GTX 760s will sport 2 GB of GDDR5 memory operating at 1502 MHz, just like the GeForce GTX 670 and 680, pushing up to 192.2 GB/s.
the next memory interface is an expensive jump. also when you are running multiple cards the memory is shared so the amount of textures that can be rendered will increase which will need the additional memory.
