Hello! The time has finally come to order the parts of my new pc, but only one part remains; the graphics card. I currently am planning to get a GTX 760, however, as I'm not an expert, I don't really understand the difference between the different brands. Here are the three that I am considering the most:
EVGA Superclocked http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130934
Zotac- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500306
MSI-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127772

So basically; is there enough of a difference to pick one of these over the others, as the Zotac is the best pricewise, but if it makes a decent difference then I'll go for whatever's best.
Thank you!

My vote goes for EVGA. From my understanding you can do anything to the card expect have it physically harmed and still have it replaced/etc under warranty. Not sure on the others. EVGA's customer support has also been very quick to respond, and very informative.

Really though it comes down to personal preference. The big names are all around for a reason - they all make good cards. Pick your flavour and go.

Just for reference, I'm running SLI'd EVGA 760 SC w/ACX cooling. One I run between 1260-1285MHz core, and the other between 1250-1270MHz core, both at 3375MHz memory (6750MHz effective). Stable here and haven't tried pushing further yet. Most games stay nice and cool around 60-65C, and the peak I usually see is about 71C ish (in...

MSI hawk is indisputably the best 760. But its hard to find and normally more expensive. The MSI gaming twin frozr is a really good card as is the Asus direct cu ii. Evga is always a solid choice normally not the best just a solid middle. Zotac is a budget brand that I wouldnt getget
If you can get an msi twin frozr gaming or Asus direct cu ii then get one of them they are two of the best
