I am just starting to buy parts for my computer build but I cannot figure out which card to get. I was gonna get the GTX 650i but just realized that the card cannot be SLI. I don't plan on Crossfiring or SLI right out of the gate but would like to do it down the road around the end of the year. I plan on using the computer for playing strategy games such as Civ 5, Simcity and Total War. If you guys could recommend a card for me that would be great. I was looking at the Radeon 7770 so I could Crossfire it one day but noticed the GTX 650i is a better card. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. The parts I have bought:

ASRock Z77 Extreme6 LGA 1155 Intel Z77

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge
