I have some questions. Why is the EVGA GeForce GTX 770 DUAL SuperClocked 2GB more expensive than the EVGA 04G-P4-2768-KR GeForce GTX 760 4GB? The 760 has more memory, so shouldn't the 760 be more expensive? Also, what does superclocked mean? BTW I'm new to computer building, so I want a n00b-friendly answer

A card with a bigger memory doesn't make it better than the other. The Extra memory comes in handy when you are gaming in more than one display or resolution greater than 1080p. For a single display gaming 2 GB is more than enough and having a 4 GB card would show no improvement.
GTX 770 is expensive because its faster and better than 760.
770 has greater memory bandwidth, greater clock speed, texel rate and greater pixel rate than 760.

OK Lets simplify it with a general example:
Memory Capacity can be compared to the no. of books kept in your shelf. So the no. of books you can read in a days does not depend on how much books you have in that shelf but on your reading speed.
So even though this 760 model has more books in his shelf the 770 is a fast reader or a better performer

more $$$ = more performance. more memory doesn't equate to better performance on a GPU. a 4gb 760 is only slightly faster than a 2gb 760 at most, but it still won't beat a 770.
do not based a GPU based on how much vram it has, as you still have to consider various other factors which matters much more like fabrication process, transistor count, core config, clock speed, processing power, etc. understandably, that's confusing, so that's why it's much more recommended to look at benchmark reviews and compare from there.
vram at most helps with frame buffering. in a gist, between a 2gb & 4gb 760, the 2gb variant will likely see a larger fall in performance (fps) compared to the 4gb card when you bump up the resolution from 1080p to 1440p, or 3x 1080p or higher, provided the other specs don't hold it back, like memory bandwidth. useful for people who already have a 1440p/1660p or above monitor, or need a higher res monitor for their primary task, like graphic designers who do a side of gaming sometime. for the mainstream gamers, though, 2GB GTX760 for 1080p, or a GTX770 for much better performance be it for 1080p or a higher res.
