Quick Question! Can't find video card :O

Hardware Hub Build a PC

Hey guys, me again! So I am in the process of purchasing my parts (Build is here if interested: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2THYP ) but I ran into a problem. The video card I got recommended from here is currently out of stock/higher priced than originally thought.

Where I was supposed to get it: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2THYP

Out of stock, with no estimated stock date.

The only other site I can find that has it is here: http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=93804&vpn=GTX780TI-DC2OC-3GD5&manufacture=ASUS

Price increase, and won't ship for 3-5 days whereas I'm getting most everything else in my hands in 2 days XD


So my main question is, is this card worth the wait? Or should I just go with my original thought and get this here: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclocked-Dual-Link-Graphics-03G-P4-2883-KR/dp/B00GFZMI3G/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1392667125&sr=1-5&keywords=Asus+GeForce+GTX+780+Ti+3GB+Video+Card

Superclocked, just missing the fancy outside fans.

Thoughts/Opinions on the matter? Trying to purchase everything today, so looking for a few opinions before I pull the final trigger!

 

Thanks so much guys,

Tom

Edit: If you look at the pcpartpicker listing, the superclocked cards (if suggested to do it) wouldn't have any problems heat-wise, correct? I hear the noctua is the best of the best for air cool. Otherwise, any recommendations on getting something to replicate the first card?

If you really want the ASUS Direct CU II card, Newegg has it.

Don't know how I didn't find it there Grayson, thank you ever so much!

I guess my only question now is if its still better to get one of those over the superclocked anyway :P

Again, thank you so much!

Cheaper at Amazon.  I just purchased it today.

I have absolutely NO idea how you found it Sophitia! I looked and looked there, as most of my parts are coming from Amazon, and I could not find it to save my life XD (or the one that I thought was it, was over 860 dollars XD)

Thank you both, so very much.

You're welcome for the help!

As to your question about the Superclocked vs ASUS DCUII card: Unless you have very little case airflow, I would go with the ASUS. The factory baseclock on the ASUS is 954 vs the stock clock of 875 on the reference cards. I don't know what the superclocked speed comes in at. The ASUS cards generally overclock well, so you should be able to get within a few MHz of 90% of the 780 Ti's out there.
