Which did you end up with? Msi was on sale on newegg, $499, Eva sale $349. I bought 770 but day after msi went on sale. I would've bought the msi had sale been when I bought, but am happy with my 770.

Alright sounds good, I spent months looking into reviews forums, tests, everything and 770 is more than enough now, 780 will give you added performance programming rendering wise, but fps not so much. Big thing between the two is that the 780 will give you great performance for longer than the 770, just check out prices when your ready. msi lightning the way to go, if its way more or out of stock in the 770 case right now, the evga superclocked is also a great card and I have no problems with it.

Alright, sounds good. I'd recommend the msi lightning first, evga second. But I wouldn't spend over $500 on either card, so when the time comes, just keep your eye open, ive seen that $500 for 780 come and go several times in just a weeks period, so watch newegg/tiger/pc partpicker, and if theyre not at $500 just wait and keep checking throughout the day/week until they are. Perhaps by the time you buy they will be even cheaper.
