    Card question from new builder

    Hello all i am building my first rig based on the build of the months on mmoc. i was wondering how good of an idea that is and also if this card is compatible with the most recent narwhal/unicorn builds. or if there is something else better due to the current 770 listed being out of stock.
    EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler 4 GB GDDR5 256-Bit Dual-Link DVI-I/DVI-D HDMI DP SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-3774-KR is the card listed by seller.

    First of all, you should post your whole build.
    Second of all, your question is too vague. A PCIE card needs PCIE socket in Mobo, that is it.

    For gaming 8GB of RAM is enough, if price difference is not big (~10-20%) getting faster RAM is a good option.
    Power supply is too much for your setup and that PSU is overpriced, if you want same manufacturer:

    Asus Z87-A is a good alternative, PLUS has more SATA and USB connections that A version, unless you realy need those.
    You are better off with M500 or 840 evo SSD.
    For GPU you can get the http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyt...d-gvn770wf34gd

    All GTX770 will be compatible, doesn't matter the manfucaturer.

    The difference is usually the heatsink and the coolers, which can go from 1 to 3, though 2 coolers are most common.
    Also some have 2GB of VRAM and some have 4 or 6 as well as different bandwitdh throughoutput.
