I'm about 80% finished with my computer build, and all I need left is basically a OS and my Graphics card. Getting the OS is no problem, but I've been trying to find out if there is a cheaper and better graphics card than the one I want.
Current build (With the graphics card I want)
CPU: Intel i5 4670K 3.4 GHz
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper T4
Memory: Cruciel Ballistix Sport 2x4GB DDR3
HDD: Western Digital 2TB
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-HD3
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GTX 780 3GB
Power Supply: Corsair CX750W
Case: Zalman Z11+ ATX Mid Tower Case
With this build, I was trying to achieve something that could run graphics heavy games like Battlefield 4, Planetside 2, Titanfall, DayZ SA, The Division, Watch Dogs, ESO, Star Citizen, etc etc, on high or max settings. Now, I still need another $420 or so for the graphics card, and I fear that there is a graphics card out there that is just as good, or better for less money. I heard that the GeForce GTX 750 Ti was better for less money, but I just don't know. Can someone help? If I have to buy this graphics card, that's not a problem. I just want to know before I buy it if there is a better, cheaper card.

I'm sure about your card but I wanted to comment about how you said you wanted to run titan fall.
That game is not GPU intensive what-so-ever. Titanfall doesn't need a great GPU to run.

Still would be nice to play on Max settings.

780 is the card you are looking for then. Make sure it's the Gaming edition that has the non-reference cooler.

Get the 780, great card. JUST MAKE SURE to NOT get a reference cooler on it.
If it is too much, GTX 770 is still a great card.
