What are the rest of your system specs? Also, what PSU do you have. that is the most important thing we need to know

Why recommend a card with a reference cooler?

This is what I personally would get. Great cooler and great overclocking potential.

Based on the fact that I know nothing about the rest of your build, I would recommend this with a $450 budget;

Would be useless though, if you don't have an adequate PSU etc so would be helpful to know the rest of your specs.

Never heard of Calibre.
I would want a reputable brand such as Gigabyte, MSI, Asus or EVGA
