Thanks for you interest in the topic. I know that they are all good (they also cost nearly the same :)) - but I'm curious if for my current build there is any difference. For example: Maybe I should go with Asus if I've got an Asus mobo (but Asus has the slowest clock out of the box...)?

Thanks! Any particular reason for liking MSI the least? In my country (Poland) Gigabyte GTX 760 rev 2 is hard to get (I didn't see any of them in the vendors) - and I heard that the coolers are good in the second revision.

I also saw that Asus has only one power line - doesn't it affect overclocking?

I'd go with the MSI version. Gives you better cooling for what I've seen and heard. I have been wanting to upgarde my PC with a 760 and at 1st I was thinking of getting the Asus version. But I saw some reviews and comparisons and now I like MSI the most.
Just my opinion, but, yeah... But all 3 are really good. Personally, I'd go with either Asus or MSI, but thats just because I dont see Gigabyte come up that often on the searches...
