Hey,

My graphic card is overheating a lot recently (60-70c at idle, sometimes 40-50c and then my computer works fine for while but if I run 3dmark my graphic card drivers usually crashes). I also see different artifacts on my screen and after that my computer usually freezes.

I have tried to use my motherboard integrated GPU and then my computer works fine without any problems.. So I think my nvidia gtx 470 is damaged? My psu can't be broken right? If my computer works fine with motherboard GPU.

I have tried to reinstall windows and I have uninstalled few times all my nvidia drivers with ''Display Driver Uninstaller'' so I don't think it can be driver problem.

I also have cleaned my graphic card from dust

If you guys think my graphic card is damaged and I will end up getting new graphic card, do you guys think gtx 770 is good upgrade?

I was thinking to buy http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-Graphics-GV-N770OC-2GD/dp/B00D3ES1Q0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1384737808&sr=8-4&keywords=gtx+770

or then

http://www.amazon.com/GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5-GeForce-256-bit-PCI-Express-OC-selected/dp/B00D3F7CFK/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1384737808&sr=8-6&keywords=gtx+770

Which one you guys recommend? And will it fit into my antec p183?
