Hi! I wanted to build my gaming rig, I had all the components checked here on the forum very kindly by Tradesman1, but I still have a doubt: is it best to have more Vram on the 760 or less vram but the more powerful 770? I mostly play Minecraft (modded quite heavily), Skyrim and rpgs (maybe modded) and first person shooters. Which one should I get and why? I also might go sli with that card in the future
Thanks!

unless you are using multiple screens(3-5) super high resolution(think around 3000px) go with the gtx 770

Even if you were using a monitor setup where 4 GB might see some use, the GTX 760's GPU is just not beefy enough for good framerates at such a resolution anyway. If you're gaming at 1080p, either the 760 or 770 are appropriate but don't bother with the 4 GB versions.

You most likely wont use 4gb the batter gpu in the 770 will give you much better performance overall but the 4gb is great if you want to go sli with something like 4k

More vram would be needed if there is more load on your video card such as split screen gaming or working on 3 or more monitors...

But for 1 or 2 monitors, a more powerful GPU will give a better visual result...You can even go 4k on a 770 but maybe not with a 760

Anyone would suggest a GTX770
&
2GB of GTX770 is sufficient enough for casual gaming and work load

AMD cards are better than NVidia cards at this price point. Get the 280X or pony up for the 290.

The GTX 770 is a beast of a card. I have the 4GB version and can play any game on max settings. The only reason I got the 4GB version is because I use three monitors running at 1920x1080 so if you only use one or two monitors then go with the 2GB. You won't see a difference in framerate between the two with a single monitor.
