I would just get an EVGA ACX Superclocked. They cost around $490, and will perform roughly the same.

yeah prices have come pretty damn low for those cards. Personally though I would rather go lightning than EVGA for the aftermarket design but for reference card I would go EVGA over any other brand.

I would like a good aftermarket cooler like an ASUS DCII or a lightning edition. What is a decent price for those? My budget is 600 max

Well with price drops they should be around your price range. I don't know where you live so I can't say just go to newegg or ncix .com and check their prices.

That EVGA ACX card that @TheSLSAMG mentioned has a good cooler and it's cheap.
