Of your list I would go with the asus 780 first and second the msi, gigabyte has been having a lot of issues with there 780's ..
Current: MSI Xpower Gaming Titanium | 7700K | G Skill Ripjaws V 3000 16Gb | 960 EVO 500Gb | Intel 730 480Gb | Seasonic 1000 Platinum |
NZXT X62 | Acer XB270HU | EVGA 1080 ti FTW3

Secondary: R4BE | 4930K | G.SKILL 2400 16GB | Corsair AX 1500i
Intel 730 240GB + 480GB | EVGA GTX780 ti sli kpe | Custom H20

They're all pretty good, and performance differences will be negligible. Go for whatever you can get a good deal on.

i know they are all good , but i realy am picky 😞 noise is like my biggest nightmare >< and i don't really want to try watercooling , thats why i wana know which one of them is the coolest and quietest

The DirectCU is quiet, I have it and hear my system fans over it. I can't speak for the others, though.

oh thanks , and how hot the card gets playing modern games ? i don't care about benchmark temp to be honest because that's not how games stress your card >< so if u can give me some numbers of few games that how high the temp gets ill appreciate it thanks 🙂
