Hi guys. So I am really having a tough decision on which card to get. I have narrowed it down to 3 Cards. The Asus GTX 780, EVGA 780 SC, or the EVGA GTX 780 ti. Links are below in Newegg.ca
Asus GTX 780

EVGA GTX 780 SC

EVGA GTX 780 ti
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
Now I have been doing some research on both cards today, and found that the Asus cards run Quiet and overclock easier, and the EVGA's have the coil whine. Which card is better for me and my computer setup?
i7 4770 (non K)
Asus z87-A Motherboard
CORSAIR RM Series RM850 850W power supply
32 RAM
27" Acer 1080p Monitor
NZXT Phantom 410 Series CA-PH410-W1 Black/White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Asus GTX 780

EVGA GTX 780 SC

EVGA GTX 780 ti

I am not into extra monitors or any higher resolution, its just not my thing. One monitor is good enough for me. I have a brand new 27" BenQ monitor still sitting in my closet from Christmas from my parents. That will be used once this Acer monitor goes or has a dead pixel. So i made the decision and ordered the 780 ti SC card from newegg.ca. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
Should be here in a day or 2. I'll let you know how performance wise goes.

Can't gaurantee on size but it should be ok, the card is only going to be an inch at max wider then a standard pci slot and you have some space between the edge of the pci bracket and the case
The classified card doesn't really provide much for its price vs the 780 SC, costs 14% more and you gain 3% speed, the argument is the classy cards should have the best chips and most room for O.C. but I wouldn't say it is worth it in this case
The Ti over the classy costs an extra 18% but you gain 25% more cores for a loss of 13 MHz which is alot more computing power
However since you are only going to be running one monitor non of the gains are going to be noticable, personnally I would get the 780 SC and take the extra money for either more monitors or a higher resolution so you can enjoy the new card

Yes this will be single 1080p monitor. I have come across another video card from EVGA the 780 Classified

What is your opinion on this card vs the 780 ti ? I plan to do overclocking but not a lot really. Also I'm pretty sure, but does not hurt to ask, will the 780 Classified fit in my case the nzxt 410. It seems wide by the pictures.

For a single 1080p monitor you shouldnt see much of a difference between these cards, they should all be able to handle any game at 1080p
I personally would go with Evga since they make there cards based on reference boards so if you want to go to liquid cooling or 3rd party cooler it should be easier. I am kind of surprised you included a 780Ti and 2 780's, the Ti is definitely the best card in this list but it also costs 200 more
If you are only going to stay on one monitor then get a 780, I would get the Evga but the Asus is also a good card, but be warned coil whine can happen on any high power card, and the Evga comes with a higher factory overclock so in a synthetic test it should beat the Asus
