that extra gig of gddr5 seems really nice
if its significantly better then I might shell the extra $75 out

Depends on what you do on your computer and the res of your monitor.

1080p for now, but future proof that extra gig would help a lot. I mean eventually Ill go higher than 1080p, 1440p and then 4K most likely, might skip 1440p and go to 4K since media will be out in 4k in 2015, and windows 9 will fix scaling, by then I could save enough for a good 4K display

vidya editing sounds like it could use all the ram you have.
I'd say go for it

then im going to get a 780ti | ive noticed gpu prices dont go down much vs how much performance is gained/lost. they usually come in at the same price point as the previous one at launch, and the previous one will go down $100 maybe, but will be 10% lower, which with the cost isn't really worth it especially for nvidia
