If you keep it within Nvidia's 'allowable' overclocking range, that is to say you don't go and unlock MSI Afterburner to achieve the highest clocks possible, temps are generally extremely manageable while your noise levels are quiet. Nothing wrong with a bit of gentle overclocking, just don't push it too hard if you're worried about it

I own an Asus DCUii 670 and its amazing, jamesriley owns the KFA2 model which he says is also awesome, and i've heard great things about the Gigabyte Windforce model too. So really it all depends on which one you prefer the look of i guess seeing as the prices are very similar for the 3 of them

All the coolers are quiet enough, and all of them perform well enough. It's just whichever is cheapest and you like the look of.
The gigabyte is a good choice as it allows for a 680 waterblock if you ever want to watercool. But equally the DCII has a custom PCB, which manufacturers do make waterblocks for.
The KFA2 one doesn't however - but, it is cheaper.
Still, it's up to you, and you can't go wrong with any of them

I can tell you that my 7850 plays Crysis maxed out at around 38fps, which is more than playable for me.

As Josh says, If your going to get a cheapish card that will still play games well there really is no other choice except the 7850
