Greetings,
I am currently putting a build together for my first gaming machine and I have about talked myself into taking the money plunge for 1440p monitor.(non-Korean).

My question is which of the following cards will perform better on my set-up?
Set-up:

Video card options:

Nvidia (4gig vs 2gig?)

AMD

Or should I save 300 dollars and stay as 1080p because 1440p is overrated :p

If you were sticking to 1440, I would go with the GTX 770. Check it out, it's even your resolution:

1440p holds quite a bit more resolution than 1080p, and if you're like most people you would likely acquire another monitor in the coming years-- which is far more stressful on your card than one great monitor. (atleast comparing two 1080's and one 1440)

I think you're making a good move because 4K wont be affordable any time soon and 1080 is admittedly getting a little stale.
