Hey guys.
I'm trying to decide which GTX 770 to get. While I play a lot of games one of my big concerns is the upcoming star citizen.
First of all, the PNY 770 enthusiast (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133495) seems like just the best deal. I never see reviews for the PNY cards or see them in the roundups, but they get great user reviews, apparently overclock great, and absolutely demolish the competition at the register along with a lifetime warranty (something literally no other company offers). Is there anyone who has any real world experience with them that can comment?
The second question is memory. I know that 2gb is likely more than even an overclocked 770 will ever use, but I was considering getting 4gb in anticipation of SLI for Star Citizen. By the time Star Citizen full or even late beta is out the full 800 series is likely to be out....but by then I could potentially pick up another 770 4g for say 200-275. I'm not at all one who normally plans on SLI, I usually upgrade around every 2 series (500-700/ 700-900 etc) but I am very excited about this particular game, which is why I'm considering planning for the possibility of SLI. Just wondered if anyone else has thoughts.
Thanks so much for your time guys.

It'll be especially helpful for running heavily modded games like Skyrim, that can push upwards of 2.5GB even on 1080p.
