Putting together a rig that consists of i5, ASRock H77M, 8 GB (2x4) and PC Power & Cooling Silencer 500W PSU. I was planning on including a PowerColor HD 7850 2GB, on sale through newegg, but now the MSI HD7850 2GB is also on sale, and for the same price as the PowerColor. I think MSI is a more popular brand but does having two fans make it better than the one fan PowerColor? Mostly Blizzard games (WoW, D3) will be played on this computer. Links follow

well...
If you like something cheap with some risks that it will not live for long...then powercolor is your best bet

I have several GPUs from power color and they did not last very long. They were broken before I even wanted to do any upgrade.

I would prefer to have GPUs from XFX, Sapphire, HIS, eVGA, ASUS, Gigabyte or MSI...simply not from Powercolor...
