Hey guys, so here's my dillemma:
I am buying a graphics card for my new system, and have two offers: A gtx 770 2gb for $210 or a GTX 590 with a waterblock 3gb for $260!
I know most would say "get the 770, its new, blah blah blah," But I play heavily modded skyrim and am slightly concerned about the 2gb or RAM. Also, I have a custom loop installed and use a phenom ii 1090t overclocked to 4.2ghz, I can push it more if need be, so the 590 would benefit from some nice clocks without worrying about heat.
And I only have a corsair tx650, will that handle all of this?
If the 1090t is a bottleneck for either card, that's not too big a deal I can grab an 8320 and OC it for $100 or less in the future. But money is tight now, so which do you think is better?
Thanks!
PS - I play skyrim modded, dayz, crysis 3, battlefield 3 and 4, batman arkham, will play titanfall, borderlands 2, and do some heavy emulating like gamecube and wii. Thanks!

) which would not be able to assist your needs if you're overclocking the card, yet alone not overclocking the 590.
