Im going to build a new computer and a few weeks that will have stable Frame rates on high-ultra for 2-4 years before upgrading but Im not sure which graphics card is really worth my money. At first I was going for 780 (non TI) then I realized I wont be doing much gaming since I have to work after school and spending $500-$600 is not going to be worth it. So, I thought about getting 770 or 280x but they are just old gpus re-branded which means they wont last long. And now, Im think to get 760 then SLI next year or 2 but power consumption is the problem for SLIs/CFs coz I dont want my electricity bill to be like 300-400 each month. This is just my opinion.

What are your opinions on this and which card should I get??

Z87 Extreme4
I5 4670k
CM Hyper Evo 212 or maybe Noctua D14
1TB Barracuda HDD and maybe with a SSD??
Gskill Ripjaws X 1x8GB may be 2x4GB
Antech HCG 900W
Corsair Carbide 500R

They are similar. The 780 may OC a little higher, but that is about it.
I guess the question is, "Do you want to play at high-ultra for 2-4 years or not?" You started off wanting to play at high-ultra for 2-4 years, then realize that you won't be gaming that much to be worth it.

So, go with the 780 for 2-3 years of high-ultra gaming, go with the 760 for high gaming now, and wait to see what happens down the road.
