Hey, so I'm looking to buy a GTX 760 2GB before Christmas, but I am not sure which one to buy? Could someone please recommend the best one to buy and why? These are the options i'm choosing from:
-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3x OC Rev2 2048MB (199.99 from Overclockers UK)
-KFA2 GeForce GTX 760 2048MB (194.99 from Overclockers UK)
-EVGA GeForce GTX 760 SC 2048MB (209.99 from Overclockers UK)
-Gainward GeForce GTX 760 Phantom 2048MB (199.99 from Overclockers UK)
-Asus GeForce GTX 760 DirectCUII OC 2048MB (199.99 from Overclockers UK)
-MSI GeForce GTX 760 OC 2048MB (189.95 from Overclockers UK)

Thank you very much

It's between the MSI, Asus and EVGA ones. If the EVGA one is a blower type card, then get it. If the MSI one is a HAWK, then get that. If the Asus one has a DCUII cooler (most likely does) then get that. They're all equally good, though the HAWK will perform very well, whereas the EVGA blower type card looks amazing.

Thanks for the reply, I've noted down what you've said for when I purchase one, this is the link to all the cards on the page, I only have a maximum of around 200-210 to spend though

The Gigabyte Windforce is a kick ass card. The average temps that it has are around 60 when gaming. Gigabyte also has awesome customer support. But nonetheless, they're all great manufactures.

I would recommend ASUS brand cards, ive had a few in my time and they have all been very reliable.

Thanks for all the replies! I'm deciding between the Gigabyte version and the Asus version, more on the Gigabyte version as I've found more helpful reviews etc.

If you are going to choose the Windforce, make sure that your case can support it as it's quite a long card.
