Which EVGA Nvidia 760 GPU should I get?

Get the 760 2GB, the cheapest which still have their aftermarket cooler. Even the biggest overclocks will only bring ~10% higher fps, rarely worth it i would say.

Also, rather go for the 770 2GB instead of the 760 4GB. You're never going to need 4GB, the card is too slow to handle it really.

Hope this helps! :)

4GB is indeed amazing, if the GPU has the horsepower to process that much data. The 760, even the Ti version, doesn't. So he would just end up wasting his money if he only wants to run a single card. You could put 12GBs on a 760, and a 770/780 would still run circles around it with 2GB VRAM, regardless of the resolution.

Since I won't be OCing too often, I will probably stick to the cheaper one. The 770 some of you others mentioned is very tempting, but $60 is kind of a big price difference. Thanks to everyone who replied, as I would have never figured out that the 4gb version isn't strong enough to handle all the ram.
As one final question, if I later decide to get a second one for SLI, which would be the best?

If you are indeed planning to SLI later, then definitely get the 4GB one. Also, as mentioned above, you would need at least a 750W PSU to power both cards.

Even if you plan for SLI, you should really rather put your money towards 770 2GB's instead then, if you get a 770 2GB you'll not need to get a secound card to make the full use of anything on the card. So you could just walk away from going SLI, and still have a card running at full potential. Whereas if you buy the 760 4GB, you're going to need the secound card to really make any use of the 4GB that you paid so much for.

Look at the 770 2GB pricing, it's so close the the $299 card, it performs much better, and you're not in utter need for a secound card to make full use of your purchase. I would go for the 770 even if you where 100% surely going to buy the secound card.
