Hey,

Ok i am very nooby to building pcs and the parts so much that i am probably going to put in a part that will not fit, and i am probably going to put a motherboard into my pc that doesn't have connectors that i need. but the question is, i have been looking at the evga gtx770 and gtx780,now the gtx770 has a base clock of 1111mhz what ever that means, and the gtx780 of 967mhz does this mean the 770 is better?

More about : gtx780 worse gtx770

No. The GTX 780 is significantly better than the GTX 770. You don't look at clock speed to determine power (the same as CPUs), you look at architecture.

What do you mean the architecture and what is the base clock for then as well with the boost clock

Architecture is how a card is built and designed. The size of the die, bus, how many shaders, how much memory and what interface, etc. Clock speed is how fast the core is running at, but it's mostly used to determine which cards of the same architecture are running faster.

So does that mean when i turn on my pc and install software and stuff i wont have to do anything it is already going to give me high fps? do i need to change anything? and what is a bus and a die and shaders? sorry :p

they belong to the same generation, and the 780 is more expensive, no one would buy it if it is slower than the 770 :) 

check this please: http://www.hwcompare.com/14625/geforce-gtx-770-vs-gefor...
particularly the shaders, texture mapping, et al. also, the 780 is 384 bit vs 256.

clock speed is not everything, just like memory amount (the old 1gb vs 2gb).

I'm sorry but I'm not going to try to explain to you what a die, bus, and shaders are. Feel free to look them up. Just know that generally the higher the shader count (CUDA is what NVIDIA calls them) generally means the stronger the card. Clock speed is then used to determine which make of that card is the strongest (among other things, but clock speed is mostly looked at) by the different producers of the cards (such as EVGA, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, etc)

Yes all you have to do is mount your card into the PCI-E 3.0 slot on your motherboard and install the software.
