Is the EVGA GTX 780 Ti Dual Classified Hydro Copper (Part #: 03G-P4-2889-KR) worth the $250 premium over the EVGA GTX 780 Ti 3gb Overclocked Edition (Part #: 03G-P4-2883-KR)?

I will ultimately SLI whichever one I get 4 - 6 months from now if I want to transition to 3 monitor gaming or 4k.

Well, based on the fact I see no water cooling components in that built, no its not worth it. The hydro copper is simply a pre installed waterblock for the 780Ti, If you want to watercool, I recommend getting a reference board and putting your own block on it.

I'd second this since it can be more easily done now than like two years ago. The Arctic Cooling Accelero and NZXT G10 are both good choices in this area. However I would never spend any money on Dominator Platinum with RAM at premium prices right now, and Dominator Platinum is a huge premium over standard RAM prices. You don't come out ahead purchasing it no matter what your budget is.

If you could find white/silver ram to match my strict white/black build color theme then I would praise you, but no such thing exists outside of the corsair plat.

Why not just get solid black RAM like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226429

Corsair used to manufacture their Vengeance RAM with a white heat sink but I think that's since been discontinued.

I'm converting my White Knight rig to build around a color scheme and a H440 as well - except I'm going for a white / black color scheme with blue LEDs. It's a work in progress but it's going to look sweet when I get it all completed.
