Which GTX 670 to get?

[IInferno]

I am looking at which GTX 670 to get as a few are around my price range.

MSi GTX 670 Power Edition £299

Gigabyte Windforce GTX 670 £297

ASUS GTX 670 DCU II £307

Please help me decide as I am not sure which to go for and these are the best deals i can find.

question: are you comtemplating watercooling?

if not, make your best deal, all are fine cards. if you can verify if the voltage is
adjustable would be a bonus. due to the "green agreement" the newer cards are
voltage locked to a degree. so the awesome overclocks on the reviews prolly
wont be achivable on the newer GPU cards.

if watercooling, first see if a waterblock is available, if not you'll want to look into
a reference card so a waterblock is available.

Does color matter to you?

Have you considered a 4gb version? The way it looks some games are getting closer to the 2gb cap and the gtx 670 should potentially last you maybe 2 years(on like high/ultra settings) so you could put that investment in now if its affordable to lengthen its life.

I would prefer the ASUS because of the GPU tweak software and cooling design is phenomenal, plus the I love the black and red!

It really doesn't matter mate. As airdeano said if you want to water cool then get a 670 with a reference pcb. Your can check that here

Watercooling is a no for me, no experience with it and when I update my computers the old ones become my parents computer, so i will stick to air cooled as its only my 2nd new build.

Colour isn't a big issue as I will likely be going for the nzxt Phantom full tower, so no window. I'm thinking the mobo will be MSi Z77 MPower.

The issue with the 4GB cards is the £50 increase in cost and when starting the build i was going to have a i5 3570k with HD7870, now im on i7 3770k with GTX 670 so im already maxing out my budget really.

Really cant go wrong with either of those 3 cards. Id just get the one you can get the best price on.

I would go for the ASUS or the EVGA FTW - both are very good with overclocking and quiet.

if you live in the uk choose gigabyte or msi over asus (in that order) Kfa2 are also good for warranty reasons.

if outside uk.. well idk.
