Okay so I bought the eVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Superclocked but it has 1 fan right at the end of it: http://prntscr.com/4o22ac

I was wondering if I should return that and get the same one with an ACX Cooler for an extra 24$

Is it worth it you nah?

Chance are NewEgg is just the middle-man there, and you're actually buying the PSU from a separate vendor. You can tell, based on the description, on the upper-right side of the webpage.

Other possibility is that the parts are coming from 2 separate NewEgg warehouses. I know they have at least one in California, and one in NJ (next to my house incidentally, yay for same hour delivery!)

It depends on you preference, with the one you have currently, it has an intake fan, and then the hot air is released out from the vapor chamber at the back of the GPU near the DVI and HDMI ports. With the ACX cooler, it has two exhaust fans, which to me are useless because your just putting more heat in your computer. P.S I have the one you have currently. But its your preference.

Not unless you're having problems keeping it at safe temperatures. If you hadn't purchased the card already, the ACX might be worth the slightly higher OC you could push out of it. As it stands, it's probably not worth it.

As Mojojojo stated, the current model is probably better if you want to ever SLI 2 of these together, so they're not blowing hot air on each other.

Use a tool like MSI Afterburner to verify the temps on the card after it's been running a game for a few minutes. If they're around or below 70C, you should be fine.

Okay so when I bought the CPU, RAM, MOBO, and Power supply, the power supply got put in a seperate section on newegg when it was in my cart. Is that just caused by shipping or?...

I know that was a dumb question and I don't expect you guys to know that but..
