I have seen the GTX 660, 670 and the GTX 760,770.
I don't get which is better than the others so im asking.

What should I do (this is whats available):

2x EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 660, 2GB

1x EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 FTW, 2GB

1x Gigabyte NVidia GeForce GTX 760 OC or EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760, 2GB

1x EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 770, 2GB

the 770 is overpriced and the 760 doesn't offer much. if you can nab one of amd's r280x/7970 then you should grab one. if you are strictly going with nvidia then by all means go with the 770 (no reason not to if you can afford one). be wary though, 2gb ain't gonna cut it anymore in vram hogs like bf4.

the 760 is on par with a non-GHz edition 7970, so it's a very viable option.

With nvidia GPU's, the first number is the generation 6xx's are one generation older than the 7xx's, the other two numbers are the level within that gen, the higher the number, the more powerful the gpu. It's a bit hard comparing generations, but a 760 is actually slightly updated and re-badged 670, so those are the same even though the 760 is cheaper. the 770 is the best of the bunch, and the 660 is the weakest. a 760 is as much as most people need these days, and more than enough for single monitor gaming. Multi-monitor or super high-def gaming, then i'd get a 770.

actually the gtx760 is a rebadge 660ti and not a 670. between taking a 3gb 7970 vs a 2gb 760, the 7970 will come out ahead on high res gaming and it is going to game more consistently on bf4 by the virtue of a more ample vram + (though not yet confirmed by benchies) mantle. dice is pretty confident about it so i have little to no reason to doubt the performance increase that it'll bring to the table.
