I'm looking to pick the card in my first build. I can't decide between a 760 2gb , 770 2gb or a 3gb 280x....I heard the 760 doesn't have much a difference between itself and the 770. The 280x is so damn close to a 770 and is cheaper. I live in Aus so the prices are terrible...Can you sugesst which one and why? How much Vram is needed? I've got a EVGA 760 with ACX cooling that I'm looking at now. Here's the whole build.
