So, the basic question is here : Should I get a 

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Dual Classified ACX Cooling

for 524 euro's

 

Or a

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked ACX Cooling

for 499 euro's. + Something else?

Or do you think I'm doing it all wrong? This is my rig that I'm going to buy. Any tips?

Any must-have's or any no-go's?

(Headset is already purchased, so that stays.)

(Mind the price differences, don't trust the ones on partpickers. If you want to know what a certain thing costs where I'm from, ask and thou shalt recieve. I'm from a country that barely acknowledges the fact that you can indeed build your own pc.)

The important thing is the cooler. ACX is pretty good :)

PS: Where are you buying from? In germany i can get a good 780 for 100€ less O.o

Have you thought about buying a 290?? You'd be able to get the same approximate performance for less, usually.

better base cards is what you kinda want it think, the cooler isnt very important since the card will become unstable from the OC before the temp becomes an issue in near all cases. even a ref cooler will do well enough to oc until it crashes

Only 25 euros more for the clossified? GET IT!

It's not just overclocking,It is really helpful having dual bios. If something gets corrupted or goes wrong for example,just turn the switch and bam you are good to go.

I prefer the NVIDIA branch for the extra's, like shadowplay.

Well AMD has Raptr, and on top of that MSI has its own recoding and streaming software, can't remember it though.
