Well I think my video card is on its way out, it started freaking out today just playing DC.

Here is what I'm looking at:

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler 4 GB GDDR5 256-Bit Dual-Link DVI-I/DVI-D HDMI DP SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-3774-KR

or

PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card (VCGGTX7702XPB)

Any advice on which to go for? Should I dump them both and get something else? I have an old PC, not upgrading that just yet so I'm looking for a decent card to hold me over for a while. I'd like to stay under $500 for now if possible.

Between those two, I'd go for the PNY. I don't think the extra 2GB RAM justies the price difference in term of performance. But I'll get the OCed instead the standard version in your link. It's cheaper and will be much quieter and cooler with the two-fan custom GPU cooler. For $500, you can get a GTX 780:

or if you don't mind doing rebate:

Make sure your PSU can handle the new card. I'd get at least 600w just to be safe. Good luck.
