I'm in need of a new pc for gaming mine is pretty old. I tend to buy something pretty nice every few years. I don't keep up with hardware anymore so I'm not sure about best choices in this price range. I ran across the EVGA GTX780ti superclocked w/ acx cooler on amazone for $730 and wasn't sure if it was worth the money for the extra gimmick but I'm weird and like to over buy things. Whos got my back with a nice setup for this pricerange?

Either one is good. The one I linked is maybe a slightly higher binned card, where you could push it a bit further when overclocking. Either one will destroy games at 1080 or even 1440p.
