Obviously go for 760... maybe for go for gigabyte.
I would op for 280x though

The more ram not necessarily better. The more ram you have the the better performance with larger resolution. If you game at 1080 2gb is more than enough. If you game @ 4k resolutions, you need minimum 3gb ram.
Ram doesn't mean speed up for lower resolutions... the more ram you have and the lower the resolution, your performance will drop.

With that budget just get the r9 280x. Be it from Giga or from MSI.

Both also can.

And its performance matches the 770 and yet cheaper at $435-$450

Listen to Roy!!! He recommended to me so I went to check benchmarking results. the 280x outperforms the 770 by a good margin even though it's cheaper. If you want absolute budget, I think the gigabyte is going for 435.

$42X budget - r9 280x - about 7% faster than 760

$56X budget - r9 290 - about 13% faster than 280x

r9 280x is the best bang for buck at 4xx rabge
