advice needed as im only gonna game at 1920x1080 and i cant decide on a gtx780 or gtx780ti, also msi do a gtx780ti ref model, could i put the evga gtx780ti backplate on this or is the evga gtx780ti sc a better model, i want the ref model so the heat can blow out the back of the case, but i will watercool it but not just yet as still saving for the parts.

This.

If your play at 1080p 780 would be perfect. Also you could go SLI. For 5 to 10% performance over 780 can't justify £100 extra

so to clarify i would only see a 10% increase with a gtx 780ti, cause ive only a small case if i sli the card i was worried they would get hot if got 2 x gtx780.

If you have a reference 780 then you'll he ok. Reference cards blow heat out the back of the card. I just bought 2 EVGA SC 780's for SLI. Not worried about heat issues with nvidia reference. They also look cool with the LEDs on the ref card.

And yes only a slight increase with 780Ti. Not worth paying the extra £100+

how much extra do you get with it in sli and yes looking at the ref model, plus is it worth getting the 6gb or 3gb model .

SLI would nearly double fps. Don't bother with 6gb unless you go 4k. 3gb will do just fine matey :) EVGA has the best warranty. The thing is ocuk don't have any 780 reference models cards. lots of other retailers do though :D
