Here's my current build: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/1Uu8p

I can't decide between the 760 (to save money), 770, or r9 280x .
P.s. I do like the games that come in the nvidia deal

I'll take advice on any component but I'm looking for some specifically on the GPU.

Also, is it important to get more than 2 gb's on the gpu? or should i just get 760 2 gb for now and upgrade later?
