Hey, could someone advise me on this? I really want the matrix gtx 980 ti but I really want to water-cool it but I hate universal VGA blocks. While I know because of the popularity of the card, there is no full cover waterblock for it, but I just found out that bitspower sells a FCVGA block for the 980 version of the card and the 980 and 980 ti's PCB is virtually the same. The only real difference is that the 980 ti is 8+8 pin instead of 8+6 pinned. Here is the link to the water block and if you want a comparison of the two PCB's then search it p on google images. http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-vg-ngtx980am-acrylic-top-with-stainless-panel-clear.html

P.S. I am also debating whether I should get the the EVGA Kingpin 980 ti, MSI Lightning 980 ti, Gigabyte Xtreme 980 ti, or ASUS strix gtx 980 ti. ANd while the clear choice should be gigabyte I want to know if I should do the Matrix first
