I would strongly recommend trying to scrape together a little more money and upgrading the GPU to at least a 660 if you are going to be playing the games you mentioned...

The only fact that matters is that a 760 will not fit in his budget.

I wouldn't recommend getting a 760 when you could get a 770...

He asked for the best for his budget.
