I think you should go for it Patrick. It's the best game in town for your set up.
As far as the backplate increasing temps, that's a new one on me. I have a backplate on mine and have never had temp problems. The highest temps I've seen overclocked running Heaven or Mark 3D was 62. You can buy them from EVGA. And as far as I'm concerned, the EVGA Classified is the best 780 you can buy. They are supposedly made with higher quality parts and a better quality card all the way around. And you can't beat their customer service, which is important to me. Asus, is a different story. Been there, done that, with both asus and EVGA. EVGA is top notch.
