Hello TTG!
I have recently been searching for a Graphics Card as my Birthday gift though i am have a bit of trouble. I dont know much about Graphics Cards and what is a good deal or build so i need suggestions and help on deciding what the best deal is. I really like and prefer Nvidia cards b/c of their cool features and nice software, although i know very little about Radeon cards and if they are better for cost and performance. At the moment i have kept my eye on the Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 w/ 4GB of GDDR5 (265-bit) and have found some decent deals, but i need help choosing or finding a better one.

Notes:
    I would like to play intense RPG, Stategy, and FPS games with this graphics card.
    Im hoping this card can last a good time period before the next upgrade is due.
    Also i am thinking of overclocking or boosting the GPU.


Links to the decent deals:


Budget:
300 to 400 (US Dollars)

Thanks in advance,
Brian

I would go with the 770 from Newegg. Try to avoid the refurbished one if you can.

Seriously though, in my opinion it's better to have new parts that work for sure rather than possibly used ones that were fixed.

The 4GB 770 is a hard sell because it costs about as much as a 290.
