750w is enough. In fact it's enough for two graphics cards. But which model/brand are you getting?
Yeah it looks like your prices aren't quite as inflated as I had thought. You could get the 280X if you want. Over here a 770 is $330 and a 280X is $480.....yeah.
Not really. Current Nvidia cards support d3d11.1 and some features of 11.2. While AMD cards have full 11.2 support. Both of them support the features that game devs are likely to actually use. There are no games that make use of d3d 11.2 right now and there won't be for quite some time. Game devs might even skip over it and go straght to d3d12 like they did with d3d10.1. Both cards support OGL 4.3 and openCL 1.1. Only nvidia cards support CUDA and physx. A few games make use of physx to provide additional physical simulation effects and some apps make use of CUDA to use the gpu to speed up certain tasks not related to 3D rendering (video encoding or image editing for example). You're unlikely to use either. But CUDA can be useful for certain apps depending on what you plan on using the computer for.
4.2/4.3GHz. Most aftermarket coolers can handle this. If you want to go the low budget minimalist route something like a cooler master hyper 212 evo ($35) will do the job well. If you want to go the high quality/cost route nothing beats noctua HSFs. The Noctua NH-D14 ($90) is unrivaled among air coolers in build quality and efficiency. You could also go the water cooling route if you want something that looks a bit more modern. Good closed loop AIO WCS (all-in-one water cooling system) can be had for $50-140 depending on the model from a number of reputable brands.
