Hi and welcome to toms hardware!

280X indeed, that is a huge price gap that isn't worth it, both cards perform quite similar, though AMD cards are benefiting from their mantle engines in modern games, get the R9 280X. A 600W PSU with reasonable quality can run either of the cards
 
I had the same choice. Buy the Sapphire 280x for $50 less than a 770. It was a no brainer. The 280x is a machine. I max out all my games with 60fps. Buy the Sapphire 280x.

The 280x and 770 are almost the same.

600W will be enough to power the 280x or 770.

Did u experience any of the GPU Artifacts and crashes that most people are talking about?
 


Not sure what you are talking about. I have owned a Sapphire 280x for 6 months and have had 0 artifacts and no crashes.
