Hi everybody,

I tell you my story:
I just bought a pc for editing video.
I took a MSI Z97-g43 as motherboard Then, also to have same builder for the components I order as GPU:
- MSI GTX770 gaming (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127741)

The problem is that the shop, without talking to me, put a:

- GIGABYTE GTX770 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463)

I just told to them to underscore this inefficiency and I have two choice:

1) have 10 euros of difference back and stay with the Gigabyte
2) change the GPU to the MSI as I asked (they have to verify if it's possible)

What do you suggest knowing that my mobo is MSI?
Which is best?

Thanks very much for your help and sorry for my italish!

When buying graphics cards in your case you are paying for the fans that are mounted on the nvidia chip itself. You aren't paying for any special hardware.

The reason there are all of these different brands is that some people think some brands are more reliable then others. In your case you should be fine with the gigabyte one it has three fans on it vs MSI which only has two.

That is also why customer reviews are always important to read on how loud the fans are or how effective they are, but you are in luck because gigabyte usually makes good cooling fans for their graphics cards and you usually pay a extra for them.

So my answer is 1) keep the extra money you have a good deal with gigabyte 770
