So, I recently decided to get myself a 980, but i'm not sure what version, i've been thinking about getting the 4GB Classified ACX 2.0 Card, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. (Just something to point out, i'm going to be using a 750D, so looking for something that looks pretty nice aswell). Thanks for the suggestion everyone :).

I opted for the EVGA card because I love EVGA's support and it runs super quiet. 

Gigabyte has the G1 Gaming for more hardcore overclocking and cooling. 

They're both great cards, either would serve you perfectly.

 

EDIT: To add onto this, EVGA will upgrade (step-up) your video card if a new one comes out within 90 days of your purchase date. Somtimes even longer, they're nice.

I have the MSI Gaming 4G Twin Frozr and have no complaints. Solid build, looks good and OCs like a beast. Has a silent fan mode too if that matters to you

No, you've already selected the best card. The G1 from Gigabyte is nice too.

Little charge, you pay the difference of the new graphics card and what you paid for your old one.

So say you spend $550 on the 980 and a 980 Ti comes out for $600. You would pay $50.
