Which gtx 780 to buy

[serbking98]

I am so lost on which one to buy. I will be getting the Corsair Obsidian 750d and using the stock fans.(btw the cpu is going to be cooled by the H100i if that makes a difference)

All four manufacturers - ASUS, EVGA, Inno3D and MSI - made something special out of their GeForce GTX 780. The card that impressed us the most, however, was the ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5. The new cooler works like charm, and its performance is clearly reflected by the test results. The card also manages to stay very quiet and offers the best overclocking potential thanks to the new cooler. ASUS earns the Gold Award for its card.

I would avoid the h100 .... unless you wear headphones ... 60 dBA is just too dang load

At that level performance wise it won't make much difference. Mainly about price and warranty/tech support.

You could consider the GTX 780 Ti as well. This was just released. The ones on the market now will have basic fans. Others will have better aftermarket fans later on.

For a regular GTX 780 I like this EVGA unit with the ACX cooler & factory OverClock:

Thanks for the really quick reply but i see everyone uses the h100i it seems reliable and i like Corsair and im not going to be doing any ridiculous overclocking maybe 4.1-4.3 Ghz on the i7 4770k
