I plan to order a new card very soon and I have my mind set on a GTX 780. Not interested in what AMD has to offer, not interested in mantle. I currently have a GTX 670 MSI twin frozr lightning edition in a prodigy case and it gets really hot in there when gaming I'm talking like 85 degrees mark with the fans sounding like an air turbine which is very annoying and why I am planning to upgrade. That as well as the recent price drop of 780s

So, I have my eyes on two cards, either the EVGA superclocked card with the stock reference cooler to expel the heat at the back of the case, or the gigabyte windforce 1ghz edition with the better cooler (well I hope is better compared to the Msi version)

Any advice/suggestions would be awesome!

Thanks in advance!
 
Although I hear those cases are good, I understand they aren't necessarily one of the better ones for ventilation. So, in that case, I'd stick with a card that exhausts directly out the back of the case.
 
There is evga with acx at same price as stock version this week, so I'd go for it.
Or add few more £ and get classified.

Yup its exactly this why Ive gone and placed an order for the EVGA stock reference card :)
