Great video card. I got it for $559 less a $20 rebate.
Would LOVE to pick it up...but I wish there was a percentage off deal right now -.-
Hard for me to spend that much on a GPU (although sick of my 560ti hawk)
Would it run on a TX650w PSU?
It would DEFINITELY run fine on that PSU.
I can get an R9 290 for about $360. Is it worth the noise and heat?
At that price, definitely! Can't get better bang for the buck for $360.

Lordy, Lordy! The EVGA GTX780 Classified came and WOW!!! Hubba Hubba. It's a BEAST! Glad I bought it. At stock significantly faster than 2 GTX660s (The EVGA Superclock and MSI Twin Frozer III).

My job. I can get them near cost.
Reference or no?
For that price it obviously is...but that's an amazing price. <-- Jealous

Its a PowerColor reference cooler. I can get a 280x for about $260-280 as well but I want a card that'll last me 3-4+ years like my 5870 has.
Back on topic: the cooler on reference cards is terrible, and I wouldn't put up with it for four years.
I've been sort of out of the scene for a while. No one makes aftermarket coolers for video cards anymore?
I remember putting this on my 7800 GTX

Throwing my vote in there for a GTX 780. I got the EVGA classified for $560, and while I know the prices are falling, this card is pretty phenomenal.
Out of the box the LN2 bios didn't show anything on the screen (yet the computer booted), so I put version4 of skynet's bios on there. Running 1.212v, 1200/1700 and it stays under 70c under normal gaming load.
One weird thing about it. The stock bios (which I did not flash) is 80.80.31.x.x, which would seem to indicate a B1 revision, yet GPU-Z is showing it as A1. Doesn't really matter as the card is OCing a good 20% higher already, but worth mentioning.

Is that your boost clock when in games or benchmarks.
If it is that's not very good for the voltage. I'm at 1.15v. 1280mhz and 60c while in sli. On one of my cards.
