Hey all. I've decided to keep my i7 920 at 3.8 ghz until probably skylake comes out but my GTX 285 is in need of replacement.
I have it narrowed down to either the non reference cooler msi/evga gtx 760 or 770. My man goal is to play BF4 on ultra. I'm really just buying it to tide me over until maxwell comes so I'd rather buy the GTX 760 since I plan to replace it in a year or so. However, I'm afraid the GTX 760 won't play BF4 on ultra, based on mostly speculation on the Internet and the fact that reviews seems to show the 760 barely getting over 60fps in BF3 on ultra. So between the two can I get away with the gtx 760 and have it last me until maxwell while maxing out current games or should I suck it up and get the 770 to ensure max settings for the next year or so? The OC capabilities of both cards appear quite significant and an OCed 760 can get close to a reference 770.
In short is the 770 worth the 150+ premium over the 760 for upcoming games? I would rather put the extra toward an SSD if I not.
Edit: I run a single 1920x1200 monitor and have no plans of upgrading until it gets cheaper for 1440p. Sorry totally forgot to include this initially.

. But as I added to the first post I only have a single 1920x1200 monitor and I currently play BF3, Far Cry 3, Tomb Raider, BL2, skyrim and civ 5. I think the 760 can handle the current games I'm more concerned with the next gen watch dogs, BF4 etc.
