Should I be picky on the GPU waterblock choice

Jedicake

Probably not too much difference in terms of flow speed and restriction? Should I just go for the one that looks the most sick?

Yes, most GPU blocks are a couple degrees from each other.

They basically all perform the same, get the one you like the most. Which one are you looking at the most?

Not all, they perform pretty much the same. Water blocks from reputable companies have insignificant differences in temps. 

 

Good water blocks would be from EK and XSPC. Swiftech has some really sick looking ones too. Get the one you like most.

Well, I'd love to get another Galaxy GTX 780 HoF but no luck on any ones on sales. So I think I'm sadly going to have to get a different non-white card, and of those, the I've always liked the look of the EVGA Hydro Copper

The HOF card with an EK white waterblock would look stunning, although the swiftech made HydroCopper block do look nice to.

Which ever one you pick if you put a water block on or it comes with one pre attached it will look awesome. Plus the overclocking potential for a water cooled card...YEAH!!!!
