Hi everyone.

I am new here on TomsHardware. :)

I have a quick question for you peeps, I just ordered:
2 x EVGA GTX 780 Classified Hydro Copper edition grafics cards,
last week right when the prices dropped after the 290X.
Now seeing the 780Ti specs leaked and wondering if im making a bad
investment in these 2 cards, since im not going to get money enough to
buy another very big (to me) upgrade in the near future. This is the first
time I spend this much on grafics cards.

My system:
ASUS Rampage Extreme IV
3930K
16Gb Kingston memory
Corsair AX1200i
Corsair 120Gb SSD
WD Black 2Tb HD

Making an EK themed watercooled system with the EK MB waterblock + CPU. Only thing I am not watercooling is my ram, due to reaching my budget.

I still have the option to cancel my order for the 2 x GTX 780 classified HC,
and I am not sure what to do.

Affraid im gonna sit there with spending allmost 1400 euros, looking at the Ti and saying why didnt I wait.

Please share you thought about this Appreciate all inputs.

Sorry in advance for any language/spelling errors.

I just typed a 4 paragraph answer and lost it. In summary:

If you already have a water cooling setup two GTX 780 Classified Hydro Coppers will be on par or better when overclocked. It will have a much better "cool" factor. However, if you do not already have a sufficient water cooling setup you will spend $300 plus dollars (water pump, radiator(s), fittings, tubing, potential larger case and or external radiator bracket, etc).

The mature choice is the GTX 780Ti's.

Good luck I think you will be happy in either case and be set for 5 years?

Grab the 780ti, water cool and overclock it, you are looking for the best for your system by the looks of it. You can always add another 780ti in the future if you needed to.
