Hello I am going to be gaming on 720p or 1024*768...!
So I want to know the difference in these two card:
Asus gtx 760 direct cu2 ..(not available now and more expensive)
Evga gtx 760 normal version with the blower style thing
This one:http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-276...
1) I won't be over clocking....
2) How much difference in performance?
3) Reliability which would last longer? Not die out? Easily?
4) How much difference in cooling?
I will have a gigabyte h81m-ds2
And gz g1 casing.... Thanks!

both are performs roughly the same. its just a matter of preference on your side. and buy a new monitor. 720p is an ancient resolution. 1024x768? its almost as old as dinosaurs. get a good 1080p monitor to experience your gpu's capability in full HD glory.

Yeah if you are going to continue to use a 1024*768 monitor, then there really isn't much point spending that much money on a graphics card, as something half the price will do exactly the same thing.

Your questions about cards though, are pretty valid whatever type of cards you are comparing.
1) Firstly, there are two versions of the Asus GTX760 Direct CU2 (which can get a little confusing). One has the same clockrates as the EVGA card you linked, the other has a factory overclock (and the OC suffix) which gives it improved performance (which in theory justifies the price hike).
2) The difference in gaming performance between cards of the same range is always going to be fairly small, as the differences are all down increased speed of memory or clock speed. Most graphics cards come with software which means you can turn up the speed with a dial from Windows, so even a slower card can be "overclocked" without any real hassle.
3) Hard to say really. I guess you can make an argument that some types of fans/designs get clogged up with dust easier, so will be more prone to overheating, but generally speaking graphics cards are pretty reliable if they have decent airflow/power supply.
4) Axial fan designs, with 1-3fans (like the Asus) will almost always come out on top of benchmarks with regards to both cooling and noise generation, as these benchmarks are taken in isolation. Centrifugal blowers however (like the EVGA), are used to eject hot air from the back of your case, so in a multiple GPU setup, or a smaller case, they can offer you great benefits as they aren't firing hot air all around the inside of your case, plus they are often cheaper.
There's not really a right answer between the two, it just depends on your priorities/setup. Your case is very spacious so you don't really need to worry about these kind of things really.
