So I finally have the money to buy a gtx 780 ti ,but don't know which one.
Could you guys tell me which non reference 780 ti is the best I was eyeballing the gigabyte ghz edition with its 1150 mhz boost but I've heard that you can buy the msi gaming 780 ti and overclock it to 1300 mhz and other cards that are also pretty good
could you guys tell me which to buy?

Dont buy gigabyte. They have issues. I just bought the Ghz edition and 2 of my games crashes randomly with nvidia driver not responding. Many people claim that they can see artefacts during Heaven or 3D mark.

Well, the VERY BEST 780 Ti is the EVGA K|ngp|n edition, coming in at $886.13.

But the 780 Ti that I would recommend is Gigabyte's version, for it's triangle cooling setup.

I've seen this earlier and the ghz edition is also not a good overclocker, now I am leaning towards evga classified 780 ti that you can overclock pretty good ,I've seen people getting from 1171Mhz to 1384 MHz besides evga is praised for its build quality and costumer service

someone has other suggestions?
