Need help picking the right card

Hey everybody. I've recently had the opportunity to invest in a GTX 980, but I wont to make sure I'm not making any mistakes. That being said, I am having trouble deciding if I should go with the regular GTX 980, the superclocked version, and if I should go with the ACX 2.0?

 

What I mean is what's the difference with the cards? What are their lifespans and what kind of performance can I get out of them?

 

Here's there specifics

 

GTX 980 - http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX53843

 

GTX 980 SuperClocked - http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX53846

 

GTX 980 SuperClocked ACX 2.0 - http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX54368

 

Thanks everyone

If your case has decent airflow, get the ACX 2.0. Cheapest and best performing.

I'd wait for the new ATi cards coming out soon.

Shot through the heart and you're to blame, 30fps and i'll pirate your game - Bon Jovi

Take me down to the console city where the games are blurry and the frames are thirty - Guns N' Roses

Arguing with religious people is like explaining to your mother that online games can't be paused...
