I am currently looking to purchase a GPU to finish off my pc build.
I have a fundamental question about graphics cards so please excuse my ignorance.
While browsing I notice four key areas listed:
1.) Core MHz
2.) Memory
3.) Stream Processors
4.) Shader Clock
As an example I would like to compare the following two MSI Geforce GTX 770 cards:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-201-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914
These items are the same price and even look the same bar the colour scheme however the only differences I can spot is that the first link has double the Memory but slightly less Shader Clock and slightly less Core MHz.
My question is the following: What do these four items mean in PLAIN english. What is better, having more memory but less MHz overall or more Core MHz but less memory? As a side note, which graphics card out of the two I have listed would be the more powerfull?
