So basically i have a choice of one of these graphics cards from the 770 series. I'm looking for the quietest, strongest, and best temperature card (based on the ones below). Price DOES NOT matter.

Why only these cards? Well because I'm ordering a pc that is pre-built from an online store that gives me 3 years warranty (so don't recommend any other than these).

I heard about the AMD r9 lately and wondering if I should proceed to get the gtx 770 with the build, or wait for the online store to get a build compatible with the r9.
Thanks for any help!

Going to play games on high and max settings (crysis, minecraft, and next-gen games)!

Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
CPU: i7-4770K

• ASUS GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA "DirectCU II OC", with Batman Arkham Origins

• EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA "SC", EVGA ACX Cooler, with Batman Arkham Origins

• Gainward GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 3.0, with Batman Arkham Origins

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA "Windforce 3X", with Batman Arkham Origins

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 770 4GB PhysX CUDA "Windforce 3X", with Batman Arkham Origins

• MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 2GB PhysX "Twin Frozr IV", with Batman Arkham Origins

• MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA "Lightning", with Batman Arkham Origins

• MSI GeForce GTX 770 Gaming 4GB PhysX "Twin Frozr IV", with Batman Arkham Origins

• ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 3.0, with Batman Arkham Origins

• ZOTAC GeForce GTX 770 4GB PhysX CUDA PCI-Express 3.0, with Batman Arkham Origins

The people from the online store recommended the MSI 2GB Twin Frozr IV cause it's the most compatible card for the motherboard. :)

The only new AMD card that should be better than the GTX 770 is the flagship R290X. It won't be available until mid-late October and may cost about $200 more than a GTX 770. The R290X still won't play any of the upcoming PhysX games with full settings enabled though.

In terms of teraflops of power the R290x has more power than the 770 and even more power than the Titan by 10%. The Titan is 4.5 TF and the R290x 5 TF

From that list I'd take either the asus or gigabyte. They both have great cooling and are silent. My personal bias is towards asus but gigabyte makes solid cards and is my runner up for video cards. The r9 hasn't been released and the only benchmarks released are from AMD and until some third party testing is done I wouldn't consider it.

Would I notice a huge difference in graphics if I played BF4 or Crysis 2 on max settings with the 770 and then the r9? And how long do you guys think the 770 will last if chose that one?

I don't think there would be a huge difference in graphics probably just a difference in frames per second. I'm pretty sure the 770 can max out BF4 smoothly. The 770 should last you 3 to 5 years but probably not if you plan to max out all of your games settings. Really the 770 is more of a last generation card that was rebranded and overclocked. It's actually a gtx 680

wait for a r290x, and then wait a little longer for nvidia to release their new card, that is gonna be better than r290x by a lot and cheaper. That happens every time.
