some help with 780ti choosing?

[1832vin]

i give up after 5 hours of researching

it's getting no-where so i came here to consult

 

i always and is on laptop, and wanted to build a desktop; heck! i even bought some parts!, but i just always ended up refunding them for no time building

and looking at the upcomming i7-4790k, it really made me wanna build a desktop for my renderings rather than using online renderings

so.....

yeah!

i'm gonna be using the EVGA Hadron hydro with custom loop because when i look at the thermal conductivity of Al, and Cu, Al is almost only half as conductive, so i wanted to custom it.

 

back to the problem:

i need to find a CHEAP reliable 780ti, and from what i see, the reference cards are more expensive than the custom PCB...

so far, the cheapest i see that i have heard of is GIGABYTE WINDFORCE X3 version....

can i have some help with choosing the right 780ti?

i'm actually undebuget, i need to know how much more i need

 

p.s. i live in england, please don't disregard the thread if you don't live in england, i really need the help

Absolute cheapest one for a reliable seller (who knows about the card itself though):

Cheapest one that I would personally recommend:

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-zotac-gtx-780-ti-overclocked-28nm-pcie-30-7000mhz-gddr5-gpu-941mhz-boost-1006mhz-cores-2880-dp-d

 

Both come with a free copy of Watch Dogs.

£499 MSI 780ti Gaming Edition, its the card I chose for my PC, and it is quite fantastic

I don't understand why you wanna go with a 780ti instead of a 780 for rendering? 

Because maybe he wants the best?

 

(this benchmark is an OpenCL benchmark, that's why AMD is crushing Nvidia)

Then why not 290?

Sony Vegas uses OpenCL acceleration. MOST (not all, though) use CUDA. In which case, Nvidia will stomp on AMD.

oh, no, sorry that i didn't specify, it's blender;

yup, blender, and the fastest is titan, but i'm not stupid enough to go buy a titan when i'm already under-buget
