In case anyone just glanced at the charts in that link it's worth pointing out that we should ignore the 8*AA results as they're totally GPU bound. Still, thats a pretty narrow gap between the chips! Would have expected a 3930k to be further ahead. Thanks for the link! :)
 
Just one thing to make sure you check, go to EKs website and check that the gfx cards are reference design and the water block will fit fine. They have something called the cooling configurator I think where you can search what is compatible.

E-I
 
Doesn't look like the KFA2 780Ti would be compatible with their full cover blocks.

Worth checking alternative 780Ti's
 
To be honest, paying 3k for WoW pc is way to much.
I played it on max settings with gtx660ti x2 sli.
Graphics won't change much no matter how much overkill you put in that case.
If he still insists, Id put a single gtx780ti Classy in there, just wait till they release in December.
 
Had a bit of a re-think on this one. :)
