Ok I'm wondering on whether to get the card that has a tad higher clock or the card that has some extra "goodies".

7800GT

or this

7800GT

I'm not sure as to which would be better for me to be able to build with:
Do I need the extra stuff:?

Help is greatly appreciated!

as you can see in the picture, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

you'd only need it if you're trying to send video from your comp to an hdtv, and also take inputs from something like a dvd player or something. although... not sure if you can do both input and output at the same time as you only have one cable... i dunno...

According to this Evga only offers a lifetime warranty on cards ending in AX, DX, or FX. It's possible that the first card will have a limited warranty. You should look into that before making a final decision. Both cards have HDTV btw, but VIVO is exclusive to the one with the cable, rather than the breakout box.
