Would you not be better off getting 1 780 for now? Since that will be more than capable of 1080p 60fps at least for the next few years and then can be upgraded later

I was thinking the same thing. the 780 is easily good enough to max any  game that's already out, and probably anything that will be released in the near future.

It wouldn't max Crysis 3 or Metro: Last Light, but it would be enough for most titles. Still, Disolitude's suggestion is better, because then he could max anything and still be under $1,500.

Edit:  Though, he doesn't agree

I am fairly certain that a GTX 780 would give an average of 60 FPS or more on Crysis 3 with very high quality and FXAA.

Sure it may not be "maxed out" technically but it sure looks 98% maxed out. :)
