Graphic card Brand.

WRONG...

Every manufacturer has their own component(PCB, caps, etc) supplier with which they "build" the card "around" the GPU. Its true that the GPU(actual graphics processor) comes straight from Nvidia BUT some of the chips are of better quality. Asus and MSI for example are willing to pay more for what are known as "binned" premium chips that are better than the average chip received by Palit for example.

So this means its still pretty important what "brand" of graphics card you choose.

Although Palit is not known for great quality, I have found them to be decent if you are not someone who overclocks.

As for the GTX680. YOU REALLY should not get it. It is just not worth it. The HD7970 GHZ edition outperforms it AND is cheaper. Hell you can even get a normal HD7970 for MUCH cheaper and OC it to the level of a GHZ edition with no effort at all as it is the same boards and chips at different clock rates.

If you insist on Nvidia you can get a GTX670 for much cheaper and only lose about 5-7% performance from the GTX680, the added price of the GTX680 just is not worth the small increase in performance to the GTX670.
 


That too... :D Was wondering when backup would arrive.
 


you are welcome

and were correct--which usually helps :)

also correct about giving the best answer too quickly in case its wrong

always double check at least

but such is life i guess
