All 3 seem to be great brands and coolers. I need the toms Hardware community to help me choose.

Most important criteria is cooling. It has to run very cool. Also want good quality.

I would go with the Gigabyte R9 270x WindForce edition just because you get 3 fans which means extra cooling and cooler overclocking in the future. If you only need 2 fans though the MSI R9 270x will do just fine. I have it in my current build and it's never let me down. Overclocking is pretty cool with the 2 twin frozr fans but if your a heavy overclocker and are looking for the best, I think the Gigabyte R9 270x is the best.

Thanks! But the Gigabyte has smaller fans, but it has 3 of them so theyre all very similar.

Go for the XFX Double Dissipation. Two large fans, great design, and really quiet. Great overclocker as well. But of the three choices, the MSI Twin Frozr is one of the best coolers for ANY card, so that's my recommendation if you don't want the XFX.
