I would look at the 780 Ghz as well, but honestly any 780 will be just as good. If the look is worth the extra $50, then go for it!

Ryzen 1600@3.8ghz / 16gb 2400mhz / ASRock B350 ITX / Gigabyte RX 470 4gb / 256gb M.2 / SG13B-Q / Corsair 450w

If you are not going to install an aftermarket cooler on it. It wont be that easy to find some due it is not a reference design.

Have you checked out the EVGA Kingpin 780 edition?

 

EDIT: It's a 780Ti... different price tag... sorry, my fault! :P

 

I was not talking about aftermarket, the stock cooler is pretty awesome. Although aftermarket would still be better.

I know that you were not talking about it. I just wantend to show him other options :P

I'm going for watercooling and this is why I picked a reference design card :) And no, I'm not going to overclock it... at least for now... I just want a super uber quiet powerfull system! :)

Nope I am not looking into water cooled I am strictly air cooled.
