looking to play latest upcoming games with high reso and graphics e.g. bf4 etc etc

Upgrade the graphic card and ram will do the trick.
For a budget 1.5k, try consider Leadtek GTX770 RM1499 or Sapphire 7970 Vapor-x RM1399.

RAM to 8gb ? any suggestion for the RAM? thanks

planning to get SSD as well

what you guys think?

Try PALIT GTX770 2GB - RM1395
8GB G.Skill Value RAM - RM179

SSD you can stick with the plextor.

hmm actually what is the difference if its palit or leadtek? kind to enlighten me?

and also should i add in any cooling stuff etc e.g fans

Different manufacturers.

Leadtek GPUs are not bad for their fairly cheap value and quality.

In fact both cards are roughly the same, just slightly difference in clock speeds and design. Why not picking Palit over Leadtek for even cheaper pricing?

Btw, Palit has just overtake ASUS as the biggest GPUs manufacturer.

may i know whats the difference for jetstream and normal

and also 2gb and 4gb

thanks

Higher VRAM is just if you are planning to play games above 1080p. A lot of games now are already pushing 2Gb @ 1080p btw. Jetstream is Gigabyte's aftermarket cooler. It's better than stock, but of course, it's a little more expensive.

so if i get the 4gb one..and then i can force my monitor support higher than 1920x1080 reso?

No. It means if you have a screen with a higher resolution than 1080p, the card will still be able to support it. If you try to run a 2Gb card on a game at 1440p and above, the fps will drop, making the game less smooth.

If i got so much budget, i'll SLI 2 unit of 660Ti. The mobo is X8 , X8 SLI capable.I dont think a GTX770 can catch up with this.

If you're not going 1440p,2GB will be enuf ATM..tryout the new Zotac GTX770 AMP! Edition laa..

i think i read somewhere whereby some games doesnt support SLi something like that im not sure..correct me if im mistaken

most of the monitors and tv support up to 1080p only am i right?

Yes, most full HD screens are 1080p.

so no point if i get the 4gb one? what if i wishes to play on my tv? it all depending on my tv? because i have my pc connected to my tv somehow it felt a bit laggy on the screen and its like kinda small

The 4Gb one will allow you to play most of new games at 1080p without problems. As I said, a few newer games already use up to 2Gb of VRAM and it will only get bigger when games with better graphics pop up. As for your Tv, I'm not sure since I have no way of telling what model or resolution it runs on.

i see but i guess the 2gb one would be sufficient

heres my tv spec

Model No : Samsung UA40ES5600 LED TV

Specifications :

Product - Slim LED

Series - 5

Video
Screen Size - 101.6cm (40)
Resolution - 1920 x 1080
Wide Color Enhancer - Wide Colour Enhancer Plus
Digital Noise Filter - Yes
Clear Motion Rate - 100Hz

normally I'd consider that as a 1080p screen, albeit a huge one. (40" Goddamn!) But that refresh rate might push a card higher than a normal 60hz screen...

Actually, your hypothesis is not fully accurate. It is true that some of the newer games e.g Crysis 3 consume more than 2GB memory at even 1080p according to this review by Guru3D, but this alone will not be the reason why the game isn't playable. Even with a 4GB VRAM, the GPU itself isn't strong enough for you to even play smoothly with all the details maxed out. So we shouldn't conclude that 4GB will simply allow you to play most games at 1080p lag free, when some games are so intensive that the GPU will simply run out of processing power, rather than become memory limited.

Even HardOCP concluded that there isn't any advantage between a 2GB and 4GB version of the GTX 670.
