What are the AMD GPU equivalents to:

GTX 670
GTX 670 TI
GTX 680
GTX 680 TI
GTX 760
GTX 760 TI
GTX 770
GTX 770 TI
GTX 780
GTX 780 TI
GTX Titan

I'm really confused about GPU series since I'm fairly new to building computers so not sure if some of the cards have a TI version so I decided to add them anyways. Also, how come the GTX 670 and GTX 770 have almost the same price tag? Shouldn't the GTX 670 be lower since it is part of the a older GPU series line? Lastly, why do GTX 680s have such a big fluctuating price tag? Thanks.

Here you go:

GTX 670 - 7950 and R9 280
GTX 670 TI - Doesnt Exist
GTX 680 - 7970 and R9 280x
GTX 680 TI - Doesnt Exist
GTX 760 - 7950 and R9 280
GTX 760 TI (oem only) - 7950 and R9 280
GTX 770 - 7970...
Refer to this, it is the Toms Hardware GPU heirarchy chart:

Parts tend to remain at a fairly level price, even when a new series releases.

The 680 fluctuates because if stock becomes available, they nearly sell out, making them hard to get, and the price goes up. Once more stock arrives, the price will drop, as there are more available.

On your question about the 670 and 770:
An example is the Intel 4770K and 3770K. When the 4770K released, the 3770K dropped by only $10-20, despite being older technology. Currently, the 3770K is in fact $10 more than the 4770K, which is one whole generation newer.
 


Have a look at this link on Tom's http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html
And NVidia is always a bit overpriced compared to amd, and they don't really want to drop prices down much at all, even on older GPU's

GTX 770 TI - Doesnt Exist
GTX 780 - R9 290
GTX 780 TI - R9 290x
GTX Titan - R9 290x

Brand new 680 and 670 tend to have high price as they are old stock, pre price cuts.

670 is similar in performance to the 760. The 680 is almost identical to the 770, just overclocked a bit.

Don't forget the system is all about BALANCE as well so you need a sufficiently good CPU. Here's an example of the main parts of a system I build for someone recently:

Motherboard: Asus Z87 Gryphon

CPU: Intel i5-4670K ("K" means overclockable)

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-U12S (not just to keep cool but also very quiet)

System RAM: Corsair Vengeance, 8GB (2x4GB) 1866MHz CAS9

Power Supply: 600W BeQuiet L8

Graphics card: ASUS GTX770 2GB

OS: Windows 8 64-bit OEM
(and START8 to restore Start Menu and disable Charms Bar in desktop mode. $5.)

Case: I forget, but lots of choices. (USB3 front panel, and at least one good case fan not a bad idea. Corsair, Bitfenix etc)

DVD burner: cheap LG, but I bought a BluRay burner myself

MONITOR: Asus 27", 2560x1440 IPS 60Hz ($500 so a little expensive. I game at 1920x1080 mostly but some at 2560x1440. Top-down "god" games look really awesome at this resolution. Starcraft 2, CIV5, etc.)

*G-SYNC monitors are really awesome but a little expensive when they launch soon.

OTHER:
Intel has a Haswell refresh called "Devil's Canyon" that allows higher overclocking by fixing the TIM issue. You don't really need one unless you want reliable overclocks greater than say 4.5GHz though another advantage would be a slightly less expensive CPU cooler for the same CPU speed.

If even considering this you'd want a Z97 motherboard (i.e. Z97 Gryphon or Z97 Sabertooth Mark 2) and probably either the i5, or i7 "K" versions (i.e. i7-4790K, or i5-4690K).
