What kind of performance should I expect with this build? (what setting for smooooooth frame rates)

What if it had a 770?

It's for casual gaming, and for M.S. of Computer Science work.

770 would give you 60fps 1080p high settings for nearly all current games, 760 would struggle with some

That makes me think i should just gram a 750Ti, None of the GPU can handle HD+ @ higher than 60FPS @ ultra.

Think It's worth the extra $$ to get the 760 for higher than HD, lower than Ultra settings, think a 750Ti leave me satisfied?

It's up to you. You should buy what you can afford.
