hey i'm almost done water cooling my rig and I decided to upgrade my 7850 to either a sapphire r9 290 toxic or the inno3d gtx 780 (ref)

 

toxic =483.49$ (US Converted)

780 ref = 494.93$ (US Converted)

http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=29572233

 

290 ref = 414.10$ (US Converted)

http://www.tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=29498947

 

it will all go to a waterblock I'll be ordering on fcpu since they don't carry those waterblocks for the r9 series locally. 

 

i wanted the toxic but not sure if it will fit the prodigy itx.

 

or just grab the 780 ref and grab the block and backplate locally on the same day?

If you're watercooling, you could just get the reference 290 and save some money.

You should be manually oc'ing anyway so it wouldn't matter.
