I would go with Evga or another major brand because if you decide to go SLI in the future you definitely wanna make sure your card is still on the market. lol... unlike me.

Get something with good cooling unless you plan on changing your cooling eventually. Mine are reference cooled. When I bought my first card, there were no third party coolers.

Zotac GTX470 Amp!, MSI N470GTX Twin Frozr II or get a reference 470 and put some aftermarket cooling like the VF300f / Gelid Icy Vision / Accelero Xtreme Plus on it
