Hey guys, i am going to be moving back to the states and need a pc for gaming and everyday use. This will not be used for photoshop or engineering programs / 3d modeling, I do use Lightroom tho. If possible i would like better options for my build im open to changing anything really since this would be my first build.

I'm running a 770 with a 560ti dedicated to my secondary monitor and physx and this thing is a beast. BF4 and BF3 get eaten for breakfast by it. BF3 never drops below 90 fps and 4 doesn't go below 60. Well and truly playable on maxed settings, no need for a 780 whatsoever.
 
A 770 is really good and can Run BF4 on ultra at about 45-60fps on 1080p.

If you can get 2 770's , go that. Dont get a 780 if you can get 2 770's. If you only can get 1, get a 780. But if you cant thats fine :) 770 is really good.

If it helped, chose as solution please:)
