Honestly I like the Gigabyte card, I'm not familar with Zotac (which is $20 cheeper)

so the EVGA and Gigabyte are the same cost.

Any help is much appreciated

AMD FX 8350 4.2ghz
16 gb corsair vengeance
(a crap video card, i wont mention so i dont upset anybody)
Asus crosshair v formula z
Asus dvd rw
kingston ssdNow v300 128gb

toshiba canvio 1TB 3.0 usb

Hi I have it plugged into my LG plasma 50pn5300 (works great with games, tombraider, hitman, bioshock infinate etc etc... no problems....) so not a traditional monitor

I saw some used ones, honestly I am reluctant to purchase used hardware. I dont know if the previous owner overclocked them (to the extreme shortening life) smoked ciggarettes in the house, had gooey fingers etc... I suppose im picky. those three are the ones im having difficulty choosing over.

I have about $450 - $460 allocated (guidelines per my better half) and those three fit into my budget

Start out and save yourself some money by getting the 2GB model. These 4GB models you have selected will offer absolutely no benefit on your 1080p TV.

Then, really, all three cards are very comparable; custom cooling, factory overclocks, quiet, same free game. So to just pick one, I would go with the Gigabyte Windforce due to very quiet fans, the highest factory overclock of the three, and the fact that it comes with high-end upgraded "Ultra-Durable" components.

Hi, I understand the 4gb model will do me nothing on my 1080 display now, I intend on getting 2-3 monitors in SLI. (down the road) So i'll at least have that option

I think you're confusing EVGA with PNY. PNY has a lifetime warranty, EVGA does not.

I'm getting my PNY RMA tomorrow through the lifetime warranty, so I have some first-hand experience.

Ok guys, So i think i will choose the Gigabyte (sli in the future) but for now I play at 1080 x 1920 60 hz (i know, i could do better with a couple monitors) I dont have room for a multi monitor setup nor the cash. My question, Will I see any bottleneck (i know almost every pc has a bottleneck to some extent) where the games annoyingly stutter? I currently stutter with a .... card (censored so i dont upset people) lets put it this way, the card is about $200 and comparable to a an older GTX.
