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

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.

If you can swing it, would go 770 or 780 then SLI it in a year or two, I've got the 780s in SLI and figure good for a couple years or more

How about Sapphire Tri-X 290??
At local store its about $50 cheaper than Gigabyte 780. Any differences between them two?

They are similar. The 780 may OC a little higher, but that is about it.
