help picking gpu

[Will Gustafson]

Hello I have a computer that i am aiming to build soon with these parts on part picker already purchased:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3FRXP
case: corsair 500r
mobo: asus maximus vi hero
cpu: i5-4670
ram: gskill trident x 2x8gb 1600mhz ddr3
ssd: samsung 840 pro series 256gb

I am now looking for a great gpu but am new to all of this really and would like some help picking it out. I have already thought with my own research that a geforce gtx 760 would be the best bang for my buck and fitting my budget well. however, my friend says to get a 770 instead. Is it worth the extra 80ish dollars for that upgrade? Also whichever you recommend, what things should i look for when picking the exact one i need? thanks in advance!

I usually keep about 3-4 games on my 120GB SSD at any one time. I guess I'm not a hardcore gamer enough gamer that I need like 2 TB of games instantly available...

I'm aware of the possibility you were being sarcastic, but it has nothing to do with being a hardcore gamer. :3
Switching between 20 games at a moment's notice doesn't make someone hardcore anymore than buying 20 cars makes someone a good driver.

Do you have 20 cars too?
