OK I'm buying a 780 and here's the list:

TOP (Overclocking and Benchmarks): 

  • EVGA GTX 780 Classified
  • MSI Lightning
  • Galaxy/KFA2 Hall of Fame

Regular/Mid(Just gaming or mild OC):

  • Asus DCUII 
  • Any Twin Frozr MSI Card
  • Any ACX Enables (Especially the SC and FTW versions) of EVGA
  • Gigabyte Windforce

 

Regular/Easy to get but not recommended as much:

  • Zotac
  • PNY

i personally like the msi gaming edition, it has a backplate and the fans go backward for dust removal on bootup :)

I went with the lightning simply because I really really liked the way it looks. Also FYI it gets knocked for having Elpida memory but the newer batches like the one I just got last week are now shipping with Hynix memory.

Plex Server/Couch Gamer: Gigabyte Z97MX Gaming 5, i7 4790k, Corsair HX750, Fractal Node 804, Deepcool Captain 240 AIO, G.SKILL Sniper Series (4 x 8GB @ 1866), MSI Lightning 780, Samsung 850 Evo 500GB, HGST Deskstar NAS 4TB 7200rpm.

It really just comes down to EVGA Dual Classified vs ASUS DCUII this generation.

 

I got both cards, but I got the DCUII for 489.99 on sale, and the EVGA for 519.99

 

My ASUS card overclocked like a beast, got about an extra 220mhz easy, so for bang-for-the-buck I would give it to ASUS, but my overclocked EVGA 780 has been running nice n cool in my brother's rig with 0 problems.
