To drive 5760x1080, I would recommend going with the GTX 770 4GB at the least.

As for the case, I recommend spending the extra $10 for the improved Corsair 230T:
$70 - Corsair Graphite Series 230T Black w/ Window ATX Case

Sounds good, Dangman. I know iRacing is not that hard on the GPU, but the 4GB would give us some peace of mind. The 230T looks like a good upgrade also. Thank You.
