That's at full load though. Most of the time they won't be quite that loud. I'm pretty sure the ASUS was the same price as the Gigabyte when I checked, but never mind.
The 3770k is fine for overclocking, you just can't push it as far as say, the 2700k. You probably won't get more than an extra 5-10% out of it with the stock cooler though.

GeForce:
€372,90
Gigabyte:
€399.00
ASUS:
€413,00
Maybe you checked the prices on a different website, or maybe I'm looking at the wrong versions?
While the noise difference is definitely noticeable, I really don't find it annoying enough to spend extra money on it, especially since that's at full load and out in the open.
I'd probably just grab an extra/better cooler if I ended up getting an OC CPU, as I assume the stock cooler wouldn't be enough for an OC 2500K/3570K either?
