Hi im planning to finalize and buy the EVGA GTX 760 and wanted to know for sure is it a good brand? like will it last long and be a quiet GPU while I game. I won't bother to overclock it tho for I'm already contented on what it is.

I prefer EVGA over MSI or Gigabyte. EVGA is far superior IMO. Im running the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 FTW 4gig card now. I like it over the 630 I had. As far as performance, Im not getting what I was expecting out of the card. It does run most the newer games Ive tried on medium/high settings. But other than that, go with what you want to spend good money on.

I prefer EVGA over ASUS. Dont get me wrong. Both are great companies. Ive had video card failures with ASUS, MSI, Diamond, and Gigabyte. So I tend to stay with EVGA. Seems to me that they are a more stable manufacturer.
