How would performance be for this card compared to a single GTX 460?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6814130953
I am considering saving up for a couple new GPU's and HDD's. These Hitachi Deskstar drives aren't that good from what I hear and one of my current graphics cards may be faulty. Mobo and CPU may be replaced but not for a long while; I'm just looking into upgrading the graphics cards and either getting an SSD or a couple new 2TB drives that are better than the current drives I have.

The GTX 760 has 123% more memory bandwith which is important for emulators like Dolphin and PCSX2.
So one GTX 760 would basically be equal to my two GTX 460's in SLI? Is there any benefit for going with a 770 or 780 over a 760, would it be worth the extra price?
The GTX 760 should be slightly slower than a GTX 680

It's not
just about the memory bandwidth, but yes, a single GTX 760 is faster than your GTX 460s in SLI.
As for the benefits of a GTX 780/GTX 770 over a GTX 760, that depends entirely on you. But personally, I'd go with the GTX 760 and overclock it. If you manage to overclock well, you can easily beat a stock GTX 770. (in some applications/games).
For a comparison, you can check
this comparison table I just created on Hardware.Info.

Google Chrome. It says 'server error'.

The shipper can always dictate that a signature is required, and if the declared value is any amount over $100, a signature is always required on that shipment (doesn't explain your current CaCl2 predicament, but perhaps it sheds light on previous shipments). Many shippers will use this to cover their asses so-to-speak. It's one thing to have a tracking number with any shipment, but the $2 it takes to require a signature may save them from having to fulfill refunds + additional shipping costs (e.g. "Hey, we sent it to you, and it says someone signed for it, so screw you, plz buy again").
As far as I know, UPS seldom requires signatures to leave packages; this is just from personal experience, as I don't thoroughly know their shipping policies. It certainly may be the case that Amazon doesn't care that much about my purchases. Though Fedex Express and Ground drivers can be sneaky. I've noticed several times that they won't ring my doorbell. I only notice them because our street isn't very busy, and anything louder than an SUV is going to be heard even from inside. They'll attempt to deliver it a total of 3 times before it gets held at the nearest Fedex location (usually a Fedex Office, née Fedex Kinkos) for as long as the store's in business really. Looks like you've already struck out twice though. How do I know so much about Fedex? Let's just say they used to pay me.
Let me explain to you what happened and why it's BS.
First some backstory. I've used amazon for years without any issues. I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of products. Dozens maybe even over a hundred products. Some products over $400. I've used their 3-5 day, 2 day, and 1 day shipping options before (I've only used 1 day once for a last minute gift). I've seen them use UPS and fedex and have had no issues with either. Sometimes I sign for the package but that's pretty rare. Usually they knock, leave the package, and leave before I can even get to the door. Most of you should be familiar with this. I like this system because quite frankly nobody is going to steal something off my doorstep before I get to it. And since I'm not always around requiring a signature can be a hassle. I know that some sellers require a signature. But only third party sellers. Amazon never requires it unless it's jewelry. They've never missed a shipping deadline before or withheld a package until receiving a signature.
So last week I ordered a bunch of stuff that was set to arrive on Saturday. None of this is from third party sellers by the way. All of it is directly from amazon. Since it was a big order naturally it got broken into multiple shipments. They usually arrive together anyways. So it's Saturday and the stuff arrives. I check through it and don't see the calcium chloride anywhere. I triple check and after accepting that it's not there I go check the shipping/tracking information. Sure enough it's in its own shipment. I figure it will come separately later in the day. It never does. Ok, strange. They've never missed a shipping deadline before but it is the weekend and I did order a lot of stuff so maybe it got delayed to Monday. Monday comes. Still nothing. I check the tracking info. again and see what I posted earlier. It says they "attempted delivery" then returned the package to the warehouse. So I assume they are withholding the product since they didn't receive a signature. I don't see what else it could be. I didn't hear or see anything as I mentioned. My dogs normally go nuts when the delivery man comes to the door and I didn't hear a peep out of them either. Now it's Tuesday and I didn't receive anything today either. Except this time the tracking info. says they didn't attempt a delivery today. I'm still waiting for that third attempt. Pretty soon I'm going to have to contact someone to find out wtf is going on because this is all very strange.

Delivery or storage?

As long as they are of higher quality than this one.

I honestly wonder whats going to happen now.
Do the Repubs hold out?
Do they give in?
After the last 42 attempts didn't work I'm willing to bet they lose in the end. Especially considering the majority of Americans support "obamacare" according to the latest polling.

Go for the SSD. There is little point in upgrading a 2TB HDD to a slightly faster model.
