Hello, a friend gave me these recommendations. My budget is 1500$ and I wish to get the best bang for my buck, so if you see anything that can be improved tell me. I plan for this desktop to last me atleast 3 years with playing games with ease. I play on a tv 1920x1080, and plan to play titanfall on ultra, and to clusterfuck skyrim with mods and enbs. That's why I chose gtx 770 4gb, but I don't know if i should replace that with the gtx 780 3gb what would be better?
here it is
BY THE WAY I do live in CANADA so thing will look more expensive.

The gtx 780 would be better. If you can throw some extra $$$ towards a 780 then do it, especially for the next few years. For single monitor/tv gaming there is no point to getting the 770 4gb over the 770 2gb.

Also do you plan to overclock your cpu? if not then you can save some money getting the non-k i5.

Since I also play on a single screen, I would either go 770 2gb and save some cash or go for the 780, with the 780 being the best choice for future games if it is in budget.

There is no reason to get a 4gb card for 1080p even with your goals. The 2gb 770 will be perfectly fine and not lower performance at all from the 4gb model at only 1080p.

I'm going to have to disagree with tiny. I think you should get a 4GB card for the mods. Skyrim mods can eat up VRAM.
