Hi guys,
I've been planning to do some upgrades and future proof my PC. There's a Gigabyte gtx670 OC 4GB and EVGA gtx680 2GB SC Edition both going for $400 at a local Centrecom store. Not really keen on the 7xx series because the 770 is way out of budget and (this is gonna sound a bit stingy) I prefer the Nvidia cards.
Mostly gonna be playing BF4 and Skyrim with some heavy mods. Quite stuck between these two, also a friend mentioned that a single fan would get really loud, not that it would be any louder than my current 560tis OCed SLI?

tldr
In terms of raw power relative to noise (doesn't really matter I guess) for same price, which would be the best one to get?

Thanks a lot!

I know you mentioned you prefer nvidia but if you want to get better performance and about $100 cheaper I would go with the 7970, plus they come with 3 free quality games. If you absolutely need nvidia I would get the 680, the 4GB in the 670 won't make up for the extra power the 680 has over it.
