Gigabyte GTX 770 Windforce Rev 2
Asus Geforce GTX 770
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 4GB Dual Classified w/ ACX Cooler
Galaxy GTX770 HOF 2GB

Extra Info: Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Formula, 860W Corsair AX PSU, Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2560x1440

Most of the time, a graphics card comes down to personal preference.

The Gigabyte card is one of the higher clocked cards so you may be able to get slightly higher performance over some of the other models. The Windforce cooler is also very cool and quiet but the card is longer than the others so make sure it can fit in your case.

EVGA products usually have good warranties and customer service. Their ACX cooling system is good, too.

The MSI Lightning cards are overpriced if you are just going to be gaming. The TwinFrozr cooling system is quite good.

Asus products usually have good build quality and the DirectCU II cooling is very quiet.

A 4GB model is probably best if you are gaming on higher resolutions (like your 2560x1440)...

Personally, I'd go with the Gigabyte model, or pick whichever looks coolest in your rig. ;)

Good luck with your purchase.
