Graphics Card Difference

I would get Asus. On some amd gigabyte cards they would voltage lock them so you can not overclock and I'm a supporter of overclocking although I don't keep over clocks longer than just to test. In other words I'm not a gigabyte fan. Asus makes high quality and be it GPUs, motherboards, laptops or tablets they generally make top of the line stuff. Evga makes solid products that tend to be reliable but don't stand out. If I'm blindly recommending a brand they're good. MSI also makes good graphics cards. They are responsible for MSI afterburner so buying their cards helps them improve one of the most popular overclocking tools.
After saying all that if you have room in your case like you said you did then you really can't go too wrong...

Clock speeds and length are the only differences. The difference in core clock speed would probably never be noticed, even if you ran them side-by-side in different identical machines.
What WILL be of concern is the length of the cards: The Gigabyte is longest at 11.6 inches, while the Asus is shortest at 8.6 inches: It is the cooling systems that stick out the back of the cards, especially the Gigabyte and MSI.
If you have a really roomy mid tower or a full tower case, then even the length will not make any difference in your build.
So it is just preference. Great cards; pick one that fits and go for it! (Have a big budget? Get two and S L I them.)

After saying all that if you have room in your case like you said you did then you really can't go too wrong with any of them. They all have good coolers and are from good companies. I believe they all have about a 3 year warranty too but don't hold me to that
