First Build. Confirmed Build. Is it good? Any recommendations?

Hmm, so no 1440p for me?
Or should I just grab a better GPU? or a 4GB model?

Or maybe I should just get a cheaper monitor.
Didn't realise monitor would be the hardest part.

So if the drop is from 64 to 40 now, then in a year it will be much worse .. right?
So i'll be f**cked if i get it..

Well a year from now when you're playing Metro 2044 then you should expect a drop from 40fps to 24 fps if it's graphics are demanding enough to push the latest generations card as metro 2033 has. But of course you would turn the settings down to look more like metro 2033, in which case you'd be back to 40 fps. My point is that the fps hit is fairly substantial and unjustified, especially since the monitor itself is 1200 dollars. I would recommend getting the ASUS monitor I previously recommended to have a good 27'' screen with an extra 20 fps.

I've looked at those monitors, but i've decided to go with 1440p. (call me crazy)

So should i keep the 770 with 4GB setup or get Gigabyte 780 3GB for $230 more?
