I'm currently building a desktop, ditched the idea of getting an msi apache, and I'm leaning towards getting a wind force gtx 770 4gb. I'm only looking to play titan fall and wildstar. Should I go for maybe the 670 or 680 or the hd 7990? Also, should I go with 8 gigs ram to start or 16? I plan on upgrading as I go along regardless.
Am I overdoing it?

Well don't get a 4gb graphics card, I'm assuming you aren't playing at a resolution higher than 1080p. The 770 will easily max those games out, I would stick with it. Also 16 gb of ram is pointless just get 8

A 770 GTX or R9 280X will both play Titanfall in ultra at 1080p. Unless you are gaming above 1080p or going multi-monitor, it really doesn't matter much unless you are trying to "future proof". Consider that the 280X can use Mantle in all the future Frostbite games. That will stretch things out a little so your CPU never seems too slow.

I used to actually own a 7990, It was an absolute beast when games supported crossfire (Which most modern day games did), and the latest driver fixed the majority of stuttering and micro-stuttering, making it a great choice of GPU, I opt for the 7990!

More ppl seem to have less problems with nvidia drivers. While the 280x is slightly better at higher resolutions like those on dual monitors, I'd still recommend the 770 with 4Gb if dual monitors is a probable future, 2Gb is enough for a single monitor.
