EVGA ACX Cooler GeForce GTX 780 ($554) is the best, but if you wanna save some money, downgrade a slight bit (not noticiably) and get the EVGA SuperClocked GeForce GTX 780 ($549)

For the little money saved, you figure it's worth it for the ACX cooler? Stupid question, but is there any real benefit to the look and fan of the Super clocked?

I basically want to run BF4 on high or max if possible, Currently I'm running on low with my 570....

Also if anyone can answer, the 770 seems to have faster speeds and some other features seem higher? I'm a fairly new Pc gamer and still learning the ropes.

I have a similar build and I went from a 560ti 448 core to a 770 4gb and it was a world of difference.

If the prices are what they were when I bought mine, I definitely would have went for the 780. The 4gb on 770 is only useful if you end up going SLI.
btw- do you have an OC on that processor? If not, it is something to think about. My 2500k is at 4.5 no sweat and I have the same cooler.
