I was thinking about buying this 780 from EVGA, but is it really worth it over the 770 to play games at 1080p on ultra? Will this card last longer than the 770?
Physically it won't necessarily last longer. But the 780 will provide acceptable game play for a longer time than the 770 due to it being a stronger card.
I just saw this. Is MSI even good?

From my experience, yes. I've had 3 MSI cards in the recent past. 1 GTX 560 Ti and later, 2 x GTX 660 in SLI. All three cards were the Twin Frozr models. No problems and super cool running. I don't see why the Gaming model should be any different.
