Hi guys so I have an Asrock z77 Extreme 6 Motherboard (z77 Chipset) and I'm looking to buy a new graphics card.

I'm pretty keen on this nvidia 770 with 4gb Of ram but I'm not to sure if my Mobo will handle the bandwidth needs of the card. I have a 750 watt PSU so I should be able to handle the power needs of the card just fine.

if there are any other cards you guys recommend for around $450 or if you guys know if I should just wait for something coming out very soon just let me knows thanks for the help in advance.

Totally forgot to mention that I'm running a I5-2500k On this board so I dont have the Pci-e gen 3 since the processor isn't Ivy bridge.

Also in your opinion for 1920x1080 gaming say like battlefield 4 when it comes out will this card do just fine running it? On high/Ultra especially with the 4gb of Ram?

Will a 750 Watt PSU not be enough for 2 760s In SLI? Also with the I5-2500k And only having PCI-E Gen 2.0 active on my current rig will 2 760s be to much bandwidth?

Edit: Never mind actually I will just pick up a 770 and if need be I will upgrade down the road by adding on another 770 instead of locking myself to 2 760s

Thanks you guys for all the help its much appreciated. I'm most likely going to buy the 4gb Version of the 770 though because I run a lot of stuff and currently run 2 1080p Monitors and sometimes have 2 games going at once or Have netflix on one monitor and a game on that other that kind of thing. And with the multi monitor support I may even bump up to 3 monitors

PSU - Yes see http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications

770's - TX750 level PSU OK if not overclocking anything....use HX850 if overclocking

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_770_review,5.html

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 770 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 770 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
GeForce GTX 770 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1000 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
