So I'm looking to purchasing a GTX 780 Ti off Newegg, I'm not sure which one I should get. There's a few listed, but the ones I'm looking at are ASUS and EVGA.

The EVGA has better clock speeds, but it obviously costs more. I plan on Overclocking so I'm not sure if it'd matter to go with the better clock speed, any ideas on which I should get?

Well, people always say that EVGA has a GREAT support on the cards, but ASUS has better cooling than EVGA. There aren't really that much of a difference between those two brands. So it's up to you to decide whether you want better support or better cooling. You can overclock them both, but i'd go with the ASUS, since it has better cooling system, which also gives you the ability to overclock even further, so it doesn't get hot.

The cards the OP had selected were the reference models. It makes more sense to get a non ref. model as they almost always allow for better cooling.
