GA-Z87-HD3 question
I have the Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 motherboard with the 7770 Ghz edition wich i want to upgrade to a GTX760 but i dont know if an nvidia card is compatible with my motherboard because the motherboard says Crossfire X on it.I know this is for dual graphics but since it doesnt say SLI can it take any nvidia cards at all?

yes
any board with a pci-e x16 slot will take any single gpu

sli is needed to run 2 similar nvidia cards
cfx is needed to run 2 similar amd cards

^ This

While your board does say "AMD CrossFireX support" this just means your board supports running dual AMD GPUs in CrossFire mode. The board does not support NVIDIA SLI mode; however, that does not mean u can't use a single NVIDIA GPU, which of course will be fine.

GTX 760? From where and how much?
GTX 960 is better and roughly similar pricing.

I found it used for 140euros with 17 moths warranty.Mow the thing is that if i want to save for a new GPU i will have to sell my 7770 and thats what im going to do to get the 760 but if i can wait a little longer while using onboard graphics i might save up for a new 960 at around 230euros.

The warranty of a used product such as a GPU is of no good to u if the owner already registered the serial# to get the warranty; like through EVGA for example. As the warranty would be registered under the owners Account/Email and thus is no good to u.

I think the warranty is from the shop that he bought it but anyway the GTX 760 is getting very cheap now so i think ill buy it brand new
