Hello all.
As a long time lurker, I thought it would be best to register and begin contributing in some way to the forums.
I will start with a video card question that has me pulling my hair out at this point.
My current setup is the following.
MSI 760GM-P33 AM3 AMD 760G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
HIS HD4670 1 GB DDR3 128 Bit Video Card
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
Antec Trublue 450 Watt Power Supply
I currently game using a single monitor at 1920x1080
I would like to upgrade my video card at this time and have it narrowed down to the following models.

These two cards seem very similar to me. The 7770 has a slightly faster core clock but almost only half of the stream processors. Is one of these factors more important than the other? It is so close that maybe it does not matter. Is it worth the extra money to get the 256 memory interface? If anyone has advice or suggestions for a card in this price range please leave a response. Thank you!
