Okay before you call me an idiot, yes I know the 770 is better.

I will be playing games like Skyrim a lot but i don't really need to run everything on max settings so should i get something cheaper like the gtx 760?

ALSO i will be running it with a i5 4690k overclocked

....I run a GTX 760, and at 1080p it's more than capable of maxing everything I play. Does a great job at 3D rendering jobs with Blender Cycles, too, and it stays remarkably cool even in a Rosewill W1 mini-ITX case.

I specifically play a LOT of skyrim with HD mods, FXAA Post-Process injector, and a boatload of other mods... it plays butter smooth.

Just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth. :) No need to pay extra money for extra heat output if you don't need it, but if you feel you'd benefit from the extra FPS of a 280/770, then by all means go ahead and drop the extra money.

Has been solved, but I'll throw in my 2 cents:

I'm running an i5 4670 w/ GTX 760, 8GB RAM & I'd say it is more than enough to max MOST but not ALL games.

For example, I get ~100fps avg. on Bioshock Infinite (though it will occasionally dip to 50) with everything on/cranked to Ultra (but terrible screen tearing, so I lock it to 60/turn on vsync)

But on Metro 2033, I just got ~40fps avg when maxed. Still very playable, but not quite good enough for some.

So, I'd say, a GTX 760 is great for all but the most demanding of games.
