I'm looking to buy a GPU for my build and I'm not quite sure which GPU I should get.

Should I get this: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780
or
ASUS GTX780 CU II OC

Thanks

The asus has a fan type cooler and a boost clock of 941.

At the same price, I might suggest the EVGA GTX780 superclock.
It has a boost clock of 993.
More importantly, it has a titan direct exhaust cooler.
They get the heat directly out of the case.
Other coolers like the asus do a good job in an open test bed of getting heat off of the gpu chip.
But then they dump the heat back into the case where case cooling has to deal with it.
That heats up both the gpu AND the cpu.
Not good.

Geofelt, how about

vs
the one you suggested?

Does it actually push the hot air out the back? I'm confused a bit so would love you to explain it.
 


I like that one equally well.

Yes, all the hot air exits trough the rear. It is actually not a hot card, I never hear the fan.

Zalman Z11 Pro external venting case with pretty lights and lots of fans, for a low price.

Brilliant.
