Indecisive, building my first gaming rig seeing as my laptop finally crapped out. I'm in need of some opinions, or some websites that accurately compare. Any feedback would be appreciated.

ALSO, I'm not partial to either. Budget for the card is 400, if there are better cards please educate.

By the time AMD drops support for the card, there aren't much optimizations for the card anyways. Same goes with nVidia. Either one is still a good choice. But for the price of the gtx 770 4gb, you can get an r9 290.

Could you clarify what you mean by dropping support? I bought the asus g74 with the gtx 560 two years ago and it was just a pain. I thought about getting another laptop because I still need some mobility, but I figured the smarter thing to do would be to get a netbook or some cheap laptop for school (etc) and get a desktop (possibly mini atx style) for the ability for future upgrades and more power.

So, you're still saying go for the 770?
