There are many brands and features to chose from, so I want to find the perfect one for me. So first off, I've never over clocked but I want to, and I may water cool, (even if I don't overclock the temps would be amazing) so would I want a reference card or a card like EVGA has with a preinstalled water block (Idk if I want to water cool for sure so I am hesitant) I heard EVGA is making a 980 with a closed loop so that may be my best bet but if not what should I get, I love the look of the reference blower, but I hear core temps are not as cool as they could be. I also don't know if I want a card like the classified from EVGA, or any other brand. So what would be my best bet, I want possible water cooling (if it has a closed loop already I'm sold) should I grab a reference, or am I missing anything I should consider, please let me know. (Case is a corsair obsidian 750d and I have a 500w psu). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wait a few months though and spend a bit more, you can get the beast 980TI and liquid cool that shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
