for nvidia cards, its evga only for me. they absolutely have the best warranty and customer service. evga sells about 40% of all nvidia cards. msi sells 20% and gigabyte sells 20%. that leaves the other 20% to the others. that said, the evga acx 780, the gigabyte windforce 780, and the msi twin frozr 780 are the most popular. unless you are going to be doing some heavy overclocking or plan on watercooling etc, their all very good cards with great coolers and are fairly quiet. id go for whichever one is cheapest and offers the warranty and customer service that you want/need.

amd offers the r9-290 which more or less is equal to the 780 in terms of performance. depending on what country you live in, the amd option might be cheaper or more expensive than the nvidia option.

All 780's are pretty similar as mentioned above get whichever one is cheaper but if you want the most powerful 780 get "GTX-780 Lighting" From MSI!
