So here is my current setup:

i5-2500k sandy bridge
MSI P67A-GD55 mobo
8gb ram
OCZ Vertex 4..256gb SSD
Radeon HD6950
Windows 7
Asus 23'' LED backlit monitor


So I've been thinking about upgrading my video card, and although I've been happy with my Radeon I think I am going to go with Nvidia this time. I've yet to play a game that I cant play on High-Ultra, though I want to be ready for BF4.

I had my eye on the 760 and was waiting for a sale to bring the price closer to 200 than the 250 they are at now. But as you all know, the 770's and above got a price cut.

http://

Found a 770 for $320 today. I dont really want to spend $300+, but if the GTX 760's are staying at around $250-260..am I better just going with the GTX 770?

Secondly..been thinking about either making my current monitor a 2nd monitor, or just replacing it with the Asus 24'' 144hz monitor

Any opinions on it? It seems like it would make for a better gaming experience and/or performance.

Thanks everyone!

what you need to consider is at 144Hz you need 144/60 or 2.4 times more graphics power.

I would need 2.4 times more graphics power to take advantage of the 144hz...not that the 144hz would hurt performance without a graphics card to pump out 140+ fps right?
