Im planning to build my own pc and after extensive research and reading reviews, should i buy the golden edition or gaming 4G? I know the golden edition runs cooler due to copper back plate but does it worth the buck than the 4G?

Personally, no. I have the 4G's and they run fantastic. I think the Gold has a back plate, which would benefit the VRAM chips on the reverse side. Also the heat sink is all copper vs the copper with nickel plating on the 4G. Any decrease in temps on the Golden are probably negligible. I don't think it's worth the increase in price.
