Hello,
I have the following build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2ScCm Right now I'm trying to decide what style video card to go with. It will be either a 770 or 780. I don't need help deciding between the two cards, but rather their cooling designs. I have the black Bitfenix Prodigy with the mesh front and the vented side panel w/ dust filter on the side. I have a 230mm Bitfenix Spectre fan on the front for intake, a Swiftech H220 on top as intake, and a 140mm PWM Cougar Vortex on the back as exhaust.
I will be overclocking the card as well if that has an impact on the decision.
So my question is would I be better off with a design like:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130921
Or a design like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130916
Just don't want to smother the video card and other components or get a reference design when it's not necessary.
Thanks for any help.
