Help for my first build

[zurxi]

I need help deciding which GPU to choose for a computer I want to build. This is my current build:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($118.49 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($33.24 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($88.79 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($72.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.24 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Superclocked ACX Video Card ($346.99 @ Amazon)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $889.72
I want to be able to play games like Battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 on high settings on a 1080p screen. Should I go with the GTX 770 or the GTX 760 as my budget is only $800-$900? I have read that the GTX 770 should be future proofing for the next few years, while the GTX 760 isn't going to cut it soon.

Just save up longer and purchase the GTX 770. Rather wait and purchase the best you can than buying a rapidly value depreciating card whist being dissatisfied with it.

My rule of thumb for a balanced gamer is to budget 2x the cpu cost for the graphics card.
Since budget is an issue, the GTX760 should serve you well.

You might want to read through the entire set of BF4 benchmarks in this report:
http://www.hardwarepal.com/battlefield-4-benchmark-mp-cpu-gpu-w7-vs-w8-1/9/

If you will play BF4 multiplayer, then the emphasis shifts from having a good graphics card to having a fast cpu. Unfortunately multiplayer benchmarks are hard to do so no clear info is available on the value of many cores vs. faster cores.
My suspicion is that a intel quad would be better if you will be in multiplayer mode. If you can find such a
benchmark, post a link here. I am interested.

Upgrade the CPU, get a phenomenal CPU cooler to overclock the heck out of it, AND get a GTX 770. You'll get Ultra in BF4, and get High in Crysis 3:
