So my friend has decided to get a 780 and wants to know which to get (no budget). He wants the coolest one that is quiet as well. He wants it to  be factory OC'd as well.

 

The 780 Classified from EVGA is better than their super clocked version.  I'd go with that one.

yeah the EVGA classified version literally has a higher core clock than the Asus card's highest boost clock.  Also, evga's cooler is much quieter.

If he has no budget limitations, he should go for a 780 ti, to begin with. The EVGA K|NGP|N is as good as it gets. Or he should wait for the Asus Maximus Platinum.

I meant a budget within the limits of a 780 as he is getting a new mobo and cpu

Go with the EVGA GTX 780 Classified http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00E8PAAUS. It's easily the best GTX 780 you can get. Followed by the MSI Lightning and the ASUS DCUII.

Cooler Master HAF XB EVO, ASUS Maximus VII Hero, i7-4790K @ 4.5GHz, Corsair H100i, EVGA GTX 980Ti SC, Corsair Vengeance Pro 2X8GB 1866Mhz CL9, 2X Crucial M500 960GB, EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 GS, ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q w/ nVidia 3D Vision 2

Ahhhh, then the EVGA Classified is the way to go in terms of performance or the Asus DCUII-OC for good performance/noise ratio, IMHO.
