Hi, I was planning on buying the Gigabyte GTX 760 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... (4Gb for multiscreen gaming) and I was wondering a few things.

Does this one come OC?9 or would it be better to get the EVGA or even MSI one.
And will it be worth it? For example playing BF4 on high-ultra settings. I know no one really knows what the game can be, but based off of other stuff people might have read I was hoping I could have some answers!
Also, My monitor isnt a 1920 x 1080 P monitor, its a little less RES and I was wondering if I would technically get more or less fps with this monitor?
My case is a Coolermaster elite 430 will the fans push heat everywhere? or should I be okay.
Sorry for all the questions, just wondering before I go and spend the money.
Thanks.

If your monitor is less than 1920x1080, you will have an advantage in terms of FPS. I would recommend either getting a GTX 770 or just getting the 2 GB card and saving the $50 for purchasing a second GTX 760 in the future in SLI. You don't need 4 GB RAM with most games. I have a 2 GB GTX 670 and I haven't gone over ~1100 MB yet in any game. The case should be fine.

Don't buy a 4gb gtx 760. This is done with a 680 but it will have the same results on a 760. It doesn't have enough bandwidth to properly use the extra vram. The point where it becomes beneficial is long past the point where it is actually playable. If you want multiscreen you will want a card that can properly use more vram such as a 7950 or 780. And the gtx 760 should be fine for gaming at those settings at sub 1080p. As for the video card itself I'd recommend Asus since I haven't had any problems with their cards and the directcuII is quiet.
