ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard or the MSI Z97-G45

Also which GPU is better EVGA Superclocked 4gb gtx 770 or the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 WINDFORCE 4GB?

CHeerssss

Gigabyte has more options and is the better of the two but... heres the problems the MSI one looks awesome... tricky lol

Stick to the 2GB GTX 770 unless you want to go SLI later, otherwise the 4GB is utterly useless.

The Gigabyte Motherboard would be my opt for the better choice, and the EVGA would be the better card, depending on the price, the Gigabyte may also be better if price is a big factor.

For the mobo, I would go with the Gigabyte. I have used several brands of mobo's over the years and found Gigabyte to be reliable and well put together.

As far as the GPU, they have the exact same specs, aside from the cooler. It really comes down to brand preference, me personally I have owned several EVGA GPU's and have had no issues. I would get the EVGA.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

For the mobo, get the gigabyte one and for the gpu, obviously the EVGa since they have a top notch service in uk and the windforce is kinda long.

the length doesn't affect me but thanks, also i live in Australia! won't the 4gb be better for in the long run?

unknownofprob · May 23, 2014

nope, the Vram does not help, as by the time the Vram of the 4Gb is needed, the core itself is already struggling.

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

well its only 90 dollars difference?

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

also is the super clocked acx better than classified acx?

sourodip · May 23, 2014

Yes the Vram will help only if u game at higher resolution(i.e., 1080p or more than 1080p). It also helps when running a game after installing HD texture mods. Can u see any 290 for the price of the 770?? If,yes then get the 290.

unknownofprob · May 23, 2014

for $90, there will be no performance benefit at all, unless you go SLI.

Check this out, just to see for yourself;

Ok cheers, ill have a look if not should i get the evga? do they have good fans, run games well? ill pay the extra for the 4gb?

unknownofprob · May 23, 2014

look at the review, then decide, which after reading and looking through that, it should be an EVGA GTX 770 2GB.

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

thanks, heaps for providing that link, I will think about going with the 2gb
but just to clarify instead of the gigabyte gefroce gtx 770 and the MSi gtx 770 i should got with the evga version?

sourodip · May 23, 2014

Ye the link was helpful and go with the EVGA bcoz. they have a top notch customer service. If you get the superclocked version at the price of other vendors editions, then the evga one.

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

well the radeon r9 290 is $40 dollars more for 540 is that worth a look?

unknownofprob · May 23, 2014

defiantly, comparable to GTX 780 on performance level, defiantly worth it and has 4GB GDDR5 Video ram.

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

thanks heaps! its bit on the pricey side but its worth it! will it be compatible with my build?

unknownofprob · May 23, 2014

yes, no issue at all. Everything will work.

ItsDaaniel · May 23, 2014

thankyou heaps for helping well appreciated!
