Which GTX 770 version should I buy?
The title says it all really, I was going for the Asus: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx770d...

But this one is on sale at the moment: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Card...

This one is also on sale: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/newsletter?productI...

Should I still stick with the Asus? If anyone has any advice for me that'd be great, thanks.

If you have a choice, the 4690K is by far the superior gamer.

All GTX770 cards are in the same performance tier.
Marketing is pushing the fan type coolers.
Any will do. I think a superclocked factory option is usually a decent buy. You get a factory warranty and a guaranteed overclock for a slight price premium.

If you can, try to buy a stock GTX970; they are superior in performance and take less power and cooling.

Just take the 4690K and bottleneck will be a thing of the past. Just make sure the motherboard uses the Z97 chipset.

I'd pick the MSI card because its faster out of the box (1098Mhz vs 1058Mhz). Also prefer MSI's cooler design.
