So far, I've ruled out all the really expensive models such as the water-cooled ones, MSI's Lightning, or Asus' Matrix Platinum. That leaves me with a few cards that are priced very close to each other, making it difficulty to decide which is the best.
My definition of best would be a good combination of noise, temperature, and overclocking potential, in that order.
I'm currently looking at:
Anyone help would be much appreciated, especially from people who have tried several of them for various reasons.

I'm currently looking at:
■MSI Gaming 6G (doesn't seem to be the best in any one category, but also doesn't have any weaknesses)
■Zotac Amp Extreme (5 years warranty, but really big; quiet compared to reference design, otherwise fairly noisy)
■Gigabyte Gaming G1 (also fairly noisy?)
■Palit Super Jetstream (6+8-pin PCI-e rather than 8+8; seems to punch above its price-range - cherry picked review samples?)
■KFA2 HoF (excellent temps+quiet, but only two years warranty; very few reviews available due to unavailability outside Europe, so difficult to make comparisons)
