I went with the MSI GTX 760. I have always liked Nvidia and the MSI Twin Frozr cooling system is awesome! At stock clocks it never gets above 60c and with the dual 92mm fans it is completely quiet.

Mine also overclocked to 1295Mhz without a voltage increase and still runs under 70c during Furmark and Heaven benchmarks. I know you wont be overclocking whichever card you decide to buy but for me that was an important...

Thank is a really helpful graph!! So which one would you go with? Also, what is the difference between the EVGA Gtx 760 and the other Gtx 760?

In the end, I chose the GTX 760 over the 7950 because it is a better performing card, it is much newer (the 7950 is over a year and half old) and after my 6950 I don't think I would ever go back to AMD (drivers/software). For me those things were worth the extra cost!

I have a Sapphire Hd 7950 Crossfire in one of my rigs and really like it. It has all the performance I could ever really need in a GPU.

I am not really a fanboy of either Nvidia or AMD I like them both. If I were going for Nvidia I would get a GTX 670 or GTX 770 though. As for AMD/ATI I would get a Sapphire Hd 7950 or Hd 7970.

The GTX 760 is essentially the same GPU as the GTX 670 but costs $80-$100 less.

I actually got the Asus GTX 760 and it ran everything I have thrown at at 60+ fps. It runs quietly and I think its a great investment, even with the R9 series being out.
