Help me choose a Graphics Card:

[Berith]

I'm trying tu build a new computer, and I just need to select a graphics card. I'm looking into buying either a 290X, 780 or 780 ti. The thing here is that I live in México, and here this kind of things are a little pricey and I don't really have a lot of options. While here the 290X is the cheapest and of course extremely powerful, I am not really a fan of the noise, power consumption or heat. And I don't want to wait for custom cooling designs, I am in college so I just got about a month to get it working and play some games, also the custom cooling solutions will take a while to reach the stores here. I'll give you roughly the price in dollars so you can get an idea:

GTX 780 ti = $825
GTX 780 SC ACX = $725
R9 290x = $ 675

As you can see it's not really cheap to make a good PC here, but anyway, I have been saving so it's kind of ok. Still all considered I want to spend as little as posible.

My other specs are:
CPU: i5 4570
PSU: Corsair CX750M
Motherboard: GA-Z87X-DH3
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz 2x4

I would like to play games on 1080p at least the next two years without problem. Anyway, thanks in advance.

Edit: The 780 ti would be reference, also the only cards in SLI or CF that would be cheaper here would be the R9 270X. I would like to have just one GPU and just get another one down the line if I ever need to, multi-gpu scaling is not always great in some older games I like to play nor reliable in the newer ones.

To my knowledge the TI also has bad cooling and loud noises as well at the moment? So I would go with the 780 or wait it out for custom cooling to come out for the TI or 290x.

It sounds like the 780 Ti would fit your needs, as it is only a hundred more than the 780. However, will the 780 Ti be a reference design? ie: no aftermarket cooler. If that's the case, I would go with the ACX 780.

Have you considered running two 670's or 770's in SLI? Performance would be similar to a 780 and cost about $660.
