I'm not quite sure on what gpu to get. the r9 280x or the gtx 770

this is the 770 build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/dnLxTW


this is the 280x build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/LWb623

I plan on playing games like, battlefield 3/4, day z , minecraft and call of duty.
I want to be able to play on ultra settings and get 60fps or more.
I in the future I plan to add another motherboard, what card will cope better with the dual monitors (might not be gaming on both at the same time)

Should I get the 770 or the r9 280x, while on a budget.

errmmm any is fine really, evga superclocked is a good choice, but if you're on a budget, like I said a r9 280x is a good choice, considering the extra ram might help, the 770 are for people with a good budfget for gpu, a r9 280x ain't bad, and a asrock extreme 4

The gtx 770 only has 2gb of ram, I'm possible going to add another monitor in the future, will the r9 280x not be better with the dual monitors because it has 3gb of ram?

I'll only be gaming on one monitor when the other one has like facebook open or something, so I should go with the 770? also, is the build I have made good? or are there anything that could be upgraded or changed?
