Which GTX 780 would be best for my build?

[MasterDell]

Hi! I am wondering which GTX 780 would be best for my build. Moneys is a big object and I would not like to spend no more then $550. I will not be over clocking. I really like the PNY card here:

But I am not sure if the MSI N780 would be that much better:

Here are the cards I can choose from since I am Canadian and most other websites would charge duties:

Thank you in advance for your help!

Its 560 right now but has a $20 mail in rebate

I am planning a build right now and this is the card I am going to get for it, Evga makes high quality GPU's and this comes with a nice factory OC so you wont have to worry about it

EVGA SC ACX -nods twice-

What does more MHz mean for the performance of the card?

If you don't plan on overclocking, the PNY card is good, EVGA works just as good as the PNY.

Okay thank you!

The MHz is the speed of the card, so assuming all cards have the same specs (RAM, number of Cores etc.) then the faster card will perform better, the reason I liek the Evga is that it is cheaper then the PNY with the rebate and faster, havent had a PNY but from what I have heard they are putting out good quality and priced cards right now but Evga has been putting out great cards for a long time

Yeah I have heard the same thing. May sound ridiculous but I like the PNY mainly for the looks

Haha thats alright its your build so looks matter, the specs are not that far apart so that's a valid reason for choosing one card or the other

The EVGA looks better IMO = 3=

I will be doing more research on both the EVGA and the PNY to see which card is best for me

Any thoughts on the Asus 780?

In my opinion , the Asus ROG - GeForce GTX 780 Poseidon Platinum is a great video card , you have the option to cool it with air or you can do hybrid cooling , air and watercooling , which is great and will help to keep the card cooler than any other 780 on the market as of now if you're gonna watercool it anyday

It means more clocking speed.Its not going to overheat and itsgonna run cold and good for most g.
