i guess the Classified Hydro Copper is a good card for extreme overclocking and of course Water cooling.

Same and there are only evga's part from the reference here. :|

I wouldn't worry about the lighting of it, I think they are just indicator LED's if anything
but I would recommend painting them, would make your system really one of a kind :D

LOL Some GTX780 DCU II in stock now -5 Euros than the Classified. :|

So, the DCu2 just appeard here in germany aswell. For "only" 620€. Not sure if Classified (670€) or DCu2 now! :/

[Shyxlol]

I'd either go with Gigabyte for a quiet system and nice temps or the classified and put a water block on it or something like that :D

I know this isn't on your list, but since you are from Germany. Inno3D GTX 780 Ichill got one hell off a review from hardware.info
"almost a titan" 

I tried to email them to ask how their costumer support is. Since they are new in Europe. But I think their cards look just so awesome, they cool very well. And are out off the box allready OC beastly.
I am going for a GTX 770 and as soon as they mail me back, i'll decide if I get one from Inno3D. This is a 3 slot card tho! So keep that in mind. 

 

Now, when it comes down to it, you can just take the save route and go for the EVGA. I heard only good things about them.

thanks for your opinion but i think the Ichill is the ugliest graphics card available right now! :D The backplate is the worst of all....

well, i would gladly put a wb on it but since i cant afford a custom loop, well, i cant do it! :D

But i think the classified is the best option here, unless the DCu2 gets available with a lower price

For me the best one to get is the one with the best cooling. Because it would really take advantage of the GPU boost technology of the 780. Watercooling it would be the best in my opinion. But if you want the air cooling option the Asus CU 2 and the ACX from Evga are both on par to me.

good, you won't be disappointed, those cards are very good

[FloRolf]

Yeah i know! :D I have a hard time deciding on whether i really should spend that much money on a gpu or better step down to the 770! :/

But then again, i dont get a performance increase over my current gtx590 :P I expect the 780 to run games much smoother since linus and slick said so compared to any other gpu, especially considering im on an sli setup right now.

[Radec]

Yeah they are booth good in terms of cooling they are basically equal. They are both 20% Cooler and Quieter than the stock titan cooler. Just get the one that makes your PC look more badass xD

[ANIMAL_ORIGIN]

EVGA's ACX cooler seems to be doing a stellar job. I'd say get the EVGA.
