Not sure what to do, 770SLI or 780TI (same price)

Have 750W Seasonic PSU and 4770K OC 4.5Ghz in Storm Tooper (will change it for 750d)

Need to have 120fps and the only game i "play" is BF4

Don't want AMD due to noise and heat.

Noise and heat is over exaggerated on the new AMD cards but still it's noticeable. If you wait until the vendors release aftermarket cooling this won't be a problem any more. Personally I would go for the 780Ti if NVidia was my only choice. If not 290 xfire.
 
If you're only playing BF4, and you don't want to wait for non-reference 290/290x cards, then 280X Crossfire is what I'd look at.
 
Did have 7850 CF for BF3 and i had no problems.

i would love to watch video with 290 noise in closed case but could't find it on YT


Will 780TI give me 120fps on ultra?
 
To maximise performance in BF4 you need an AMD card, in order to get Mantle support.

I'd wait for the 290 to get custom cooling and crossfire two. Two 280X cards will still be faster than a 780 Ti.
 
For 120fps+ on ultra, 2x290 -- with custom cooling there'll be no noise issue.

2x770s suffer from low memory bandwidth and capacity. 2x280X would be far better because of that, especially with new and upcoming games.

Mantle is set to make improved use of multi-GPUs and to reduce CPU use, which in turn should allow maxed out settings more easily.
