Hi everyone. I'll build a new system this month. I created a topic before and asked for opinions. I didn't have enough budget for gpu then. I was going to use intel hd 4600 onboard gpu for a few months, but now i have budget.

I was thinking of buying MSI GTX 770 2GB but i want a 4GB gpu now.
There are 2 gpu's available here. Asus is out of stock at the moment but Gigabyte is available.

MSI GTX 770 2GB Twin Frozr

Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce 3x GTX 770 4GB

I'll get i5 4590 cpu, Gigabyte H87-HD3 mobo, Gskill Ripjaws 8GB 1600 Mhz Ram, 250GB Samsung Evo SSD and Corsair 300R case with Corsair CX 600 600W 80+ Bronze psu.

Which one of these 4GB cards do you suggest guys? Will Corsair these cards fill fit in Corsair 300R case? I wonder if Gigabyte Windforce 3X GTX 770 will fit.
Will Corsair CX v2 600 600W 80+ Bronze psu be enough for these cards?
Please help me decide guys. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the advice but that psu isn't available in my area.
Corsair 300R case comes with CX 600 mounted. It's the cheapest and good option i can get here so i chose it.
When i buy Corsair 300R and CX 600 seperately, it's more expensive. :)

well as always, the question is which resolution do you want to play in? at 1080p the 2gb edition should perform just fine, but if you have no plans to upgrade for a few years then the 4gb edition may prove to be somewhat beneficial

if your heart is set on a 4gb edition of the 770, look for the evga ACX 4gb, its much smaller than most other varients and allows you to upgrade within 3 months to a better model (ie a 780 or higher) for just the cost of postage and cost difference between gpus, which is something ive always thought was cool.

I have 23" Asus MX239H IPS-LED monitor. I will play at 1920x1080 resolution. I won't play at 2K or 4K.
I won't be able to change my gpu for at least 2 years but i want this time to be longer. :) 

2GB MSI GTX 770 runs most of the games very well but games like Titanfall and Watch Dogs requires 3GB VRam to open ultra textures or something like that. These 2 games aren't too important for me but games in the future worries me. So i want to get a 4GB gpu.

then the 4gb edition will benefit you greatly, expect to see a steep performance drop off in ultra in 2015 titles though, as the difference in fidelity of whats launching this year and next is surprisingly high, id still look into the evga ACX model though, their warranties are excellent and the step up program (upgrade your gpu within 3 months and you only pay price difference + postage) is fantastic

OMG. Thanks for the advice. I heard a lot of good reviews about EVGA. EVGA entered Turkey market this month and their price are the most expensive.

After your suggestion i checked GTX770 SuperClock ACX GDDR5 4GB 256Bit Nvidia GeForce DX11.1 gpu.
It's nearly the same price with Gigabyte Windforce 3X 4GB GTX 770.

I wouldn't notice 4GB EVGA if you didn't mention it. Thanks alot. :) 

So i should definetly go for EVGA 4GB right?

i would say definitely, it wont neccesarily be as cool as the gigabyte, but it will clock just as high, take up less space in your system and if theres any problems, theyre a great company to deal with
