I went ahead with the ASUS model as my MB was ROG. I don't need to OC now and it has a good potential to over clock once the machine becomes too slow to play the latest games.

I think the best one is the gigabyte because of the windforce cooling, but MSI Lightning is a little bit faster like 3% faster, but I would go with the gigabyte if I were to buy a gtx 780, because it runs cooler.

Evga: Core: #2 OC: #1 Cooling: #3
MSI: Core: #3 OC: #2 Cooling: #1
GB : Core: #1 OC: #3 Cooling: #2

Core=base clock/price, OC= max overclock, cooling=best temps

I think a lot of people would agree with this, I didn't do the asus one because I've had a bad experience with their gpus (but I hear good things about them)
