I want a computer for gaming ( mainly ) and video editing. After some researches I decided to go for the following hardwares:

intel i7 4770k
Asus Maximus VII Hero
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB( 2x8 )
Corsair RM 850
Corsair H100i

I don't know which case I'm going to get but it will be a full size one.

For the graphic card I don't know if I should get ROG poseidon gtx 780, asus gtx 780ti or mars 760. Which one should I buy?

What are your thoughts about this configuration, would you change anything? Let me know, please.

More about : gtx 780 mard 760

Looks good! Budget allowing I'd recommend the 780 Ti as it's the best of the bunch. The Mars 760 will come close but will need more power and generate more heat.

780Ti ftw! the poseidon's selling point is the liquid cooling possibilities but you can get that for the 780ti if you want to go LCS. performance wise, i'd go for 780ti.

EVGA or MSI. MSI's 780 Ti Gaming has the best review (of which I've read).

(Personally) ive had nothing but problems with asus GPUs id go with sapphire or gigabyte theyre not much difference in price and come very highly OCed out of the box. Also if youre not planning on OCing then save the cash on the K version processor and give up on the h100 get a cooler master 212 evo instead

1. Great cooler, keeps its temps low
2.EVGA has best customer service, no argument
3.DUal bios, means that if you screw up on one overclocking, you can just switch to the second BIOS, where it will make teh card right as rain again
4. Voltage unlocking tools on internet
5. Has ln2 mode, it boosts performance by 15% with just a flick of a button on the card
6. Very quiet card
7. 3rd or 4th best 780 ti atm

Personally if you want an EVGA 780 Ti I'd stick with a reference one (I've had no end of problems with the ACX Coolers). Unless you're going to be doing some serious overclocking then there's really no point in paying the extra for the Dual Bios Classified, the normal SuperClocked version will serve you just as well.

Also, the LN2 switch doesn't boost the performance by 15%... It gives a slightly higher PT and is a bios designed for LN2 overclocking. Again, not worth it unless the OP plans on extreme overclocking.

This is just my opinion though as I've had both the 780 Ti Dual Classified and the Kingpin and the reference coolers I have on my Titan Blacks work just as well as the ACX Coolers of the 780 Ti's.

The OP said he will overclock, and I see the dual bios as a great feature that makes overclocking safer and more appealing to people new to it, I'd say only the matrix platinum and kingpin are for ln2 really, the classified was never meant for ln2,

The Dual Classified's secondary bios switch is labelled LN2, that part is self-explanatory.

Dual Bios is good but not necessary, I'm a noob at overclocking, flashed a few bios' and never bricked a card.

Having said that, if (going by the website he posted) the OP is in Canada, the price difference from a reference 780 Ti and the Dual Classified is $50. It'd be worth it if that's the only price difference (in my opinion). Just hope for a decent ACX!!!

I don't make assumptions, but it seems you've made one about me making one...

I never at any point said ONLY for LN2 users. The fact of the matter is why pay extra for a card that will perform the same on air as a cheaper variant?

Actually there is a bigger fps difference between a low end 780 ti and a higher end one, sometimes as much as 15fps or more

But I'm not comparing low-end Ti's. The Reference SC version is clocked nearly as high as the Dual Classified, and the difference in clock can be made up with a mild OC, meaning equal performance for cheaper.

My point was you can get similar performance from the Reference SuperClocked 780 Ti as a Dual Classified for cheaper.

I understand what you're saying but after 4 Dual Classifieds and a Kingpin all with faulty ACX Coolers, I can't recommend anything other than reference EVGA cards or different brands. Especially when they don't cost as much and perform nearly identically.

Some people get bad experiences with them but the majority of opinion would say it is a great cooler, also, I believe the 3rd highest clock speed that was achieved via overclocking was with a classfied, according to reviews and benchmarks. And even if there was a problem with acx, cs will help
