Hi guys, I'm looking at buying a new 780 ti for gaming on 1920x1080 @144hz. its been a while since I have logged in here and I'm not sure if I have my current specs on my profile or not so here is what I plan on using it with - i7 4770k, Sabertooth z97 motherboard, 8GB Corsair Ram, 875 Watt PSU. My current gpu is a GTX 590 which just isn't cutting it for me anymore and waiting for the 800 series I don't want because I will be very busy next year so my time for gaming is now.
I'm from Australia and I always buy from pccasegear.com, I have my eye on this card http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_i...
Here is a list of the 780 ti they have for sale, if anybody could just help me choose one that is "best" that will be great help
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPa...
I have $900 I can spend.

The evga superclocked w/ACX, it is by far the most recommended brand with it's service and the cooler is very good, also the base clock is one of the highest out tereThe cards are good I agree but the ACX utter crap. I've had 5 and all where making strange and loud noises. I'd recommend an EVGA card if you go with a reference cooler!!!
EVGA's customer service IS second to none though.
Additional to my last post, I'd avoid the GHz Edition of Gigabyte's 780 Ti even more so as there have been MANY reports of the cards not being stable at stock clocks/voltages, with owners having to downclock their card to keep it stable.

The cooler is arguable, some say it's the best there is, others have had problems with it, but there are some brands not so heard off, like the Galaxy HOF 780 Ti and the Inno3d 780 Ti OC Edition

I have a reference cooled EVGA card now and it cools just as well as the ACX without the audible problems many ACX coolers suffer with.

As I said, some people prefer the reference cooler, others would say it is really good. It's just luck whether you get a good cooler or not

I must be extremely unlucky, I had 5 cards in a row, all with dodgy ACX coolers.
I'd advise anyone considering purchasing an ACX to have a read of this (sizable) thread on the official EVGA forums. It's a very common problem for ACX coolers to have irritating audible problems - http://forums.evga.com/ACX-rattle-noise-problem-fix-m20...

Two large 85mm axial fans take care of providing the necessary fresh air. The ACX cooler has been implemented in numerous EVGA models (eg the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified). In the case of the GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified, EVGA promises a 40 percent larger heatsink volume, GPU and memory temperature lower by 15 percent, and a prolonged life (by a factor of four) of the bearings of the two fans. Reviews usually granted the ACX cooler a good performance, though it is no cure-all. We will see later in the measurements how it helps the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified's temperature, especially when overclocking.
This is a extract from a review of the 780 Ti Classfied w/ACX regarding its cooler

Can't really see how this is relevant, especially when reviewers are sent hand picked cards.

If you read it properly, it'll say that 'Reviews usually granted the ACX cooler a good performance, though it is no cure-all' Ha, I did read it properly. As I explained, reviewers are always sent hand picked, high performing cards. I've never read a review that has stated the ACX is a bad cooler. However, the sheer amount of people complaining about the ACX coolers in the thread I linked just goes to show that reviews aren't always gospel.

Yes.. but you say that they are hand picked right? so there must be more of these cards that are sold to the public, they can't just make like 10 good cards right? Therefore, some people would have a good evga card that uses the acx cooler, anyways, as I said before, if he dosen't want the acx cooler, that's fine, up to him, but there is also the galaxy hof edition and the inno3d edition, we can argue about whether the acx cooler is bad or not all day but let's just answer his question

The MSI 780 Ti Gaming gets very good reviews and is said to be almost silent. The HOF is one of the best looking cards I've seen with it's white PCB, and the Inno3d DHS 780 Ti gets very good reviews and performs at Kingpin levels.
I think it's hard to go wrong with a GPU nowdays, few manufacturers make bad cards, each has their pros and cons.
