What will you choose and why?

Does the extra 1gb Vram on the 280x makes a difference on 1080p gaming?
which one is more "Futureproof" between the two?
 
well, the 770 is a hair faster, but the 280x has more vram and is usually cheaper. if you are on a tight budget, or use multiple monitors to game on, take the 280x. if you only use 1 monitor for gaming (if you even do game) then take the 770.

but in my country(philippines) 280x is a bit cheaper than 770 about $50. and the 780 is around $620.
so im not sure if its worth buying the 780 without sacrificing something.

im using this http://dynaquestpc.com/ to shop its the cheapest store that i could find near me. my budget is $1200/55,000 pesos.
