As the title suggests I want to know which graphics card fits to my system the best. I am in a three way battle with the gtx 760, 770 and 780 and I want to know what fits best with a i5-4670k. I can afford any of these graphics cards, I just want to make sure I spend the money wisely and that it makes sense for the parts. I have not done any extensive gaming since I made the system last July, but I like to try to get the graphics as high as feesible with the integrated graphics. 1080p gaming is all I see myself using for the near future. I have a 750watt PSU by the way. Thanks ahead of time.

Absoluely the 780 is overkill for 1080 unless you increase the resolution you shouldnt buy a 780.Definitely go for the 770.A 750w can power it smoothly and the 760 you can go for but it wont give you as much frames as the 770.So if you have the money you would definitely go for a 770

770 for 1080p

760 will do ok, but in GPU driven games it will feel feel the pinch in demanding games.

The 780 is probably overkill, but heh i'd have it over the 770 in a heart beat. Although i'd prefer this with a 850w psu, not that it won't run with a 750w.It's just nearer the edge for my liking.

The 770 will be fine with 750w

The 760 is the best GPU for performance to price comparisons available right now. I have one and love it. I get 65 fps in bf4 with custom settings which look great. The 770 is roughly another 100 bucks, is it worth it? If you have money to burn, sure. The 780 is...wow....but do you really need 100+ fps in-game? Two 760s will out-compete one 780 and is cheaper.

If you plan at 1080p on a single monitor you should go for a 2GB as games does not utilize more than 1GB in 1080p and a dual monitor setup at 1080p,I would say a 4GB version as 2GB are not enough for the resolution that they both add up to make

You're not going to find many games which will utilized two monitors. Think about it, do you really want your crosshairs split between two screens? The second screen is generally used for monitoring other programs while you game on your main screen. You'll need three monitors if you want multi-monitor gaming. Then you'd want the 4gb. If you don't plan on using more than two monitors, 2gb is fine.
