I'm doing a new build and basically I have $200 - $300 to spend here is the build:

Now this is mainly for a game called Iracing, as well as other games in the future. Basically I want max graphics with 3 monitors. Which has the best graphics and performance? Which do you recommend? Can a 770 support 3 monitors? Finally what is the difference between each series if they are the same price basically? Which of these graphics cards looks the best for the build:

Help this is very confusing!

770 is a 680 with faster ram and gpu boost 2.0 that works according to temperature (makes more sense) so i'd recommend it over the 680...
also all of these will run 3 monitors... 760 beats the 670 in some scenarios... in some scenarios it loses... depends on resolution i think... 780 is in a league of it's own here...

also if you plan on doing 3 monitors try to get as much videoram as you can ... i know some of these models come as 4gb version too, but cost a bit more ... im not sure if the cheaper ones will be sufficient to run 3 monitors on max settings and full resolution so try to get one of the more powerful models

780 is noticeably faster than 680 even tho it has 1gb less ram, so if you can afford either get the 780... the 3gb vs 4gb probably won't make a huge difference ... however 2 might not be enough for 3 monitors...
the difference between the two 780's is just a bit more overclock, so you can take the cheaper one and oc yourself... maybe they are cherrypicked or not ... who knows, it depends on luck... they might as well oc to the same level even tho one costs more .. thye might not... decide if you wanna spend the extra cash,
also since you're getting a 780 .. and if you plan to overclock, consider investing in a little bit more powerful PSU ...
the 600w will do fine in this rig but it will be nearing it's limits so maybe get a 650 or 700w instead...

in psu's what you're looking for is how many amps the 12v rail can deliver ...
wattage = volts (12) times amps
the corsairs are pretty good in this regard but maybe consider a slightly higher model for sucha high end build, you can see the max wattage the cards pull under full load on EVGA website under specifications..
evga seem to be more realistic with the psu recommendations whereas other manufacturers always recommend more watts (i guess they are afraid of warranty claims)
google approximately how much wattage will the rest of the rig pull and you will see approx how much "room" your psu has left ...
