Hi I'm looking to upgrade my GTX 760 that I've had for about 3 years and has been showing it's age. I've been looking at getting one of these:

EVGA FTW: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I60OGUK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

ZOTAC AMP! Extreme: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GVNN9GQ/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Gigabyte G1 Gaming: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H0WU884/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

ASUS ROG Strix: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HEQYQHA/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1XBP962TML3AH

Also, I've been hearing about heavier aftermarket gpu's like the Amp Extreme sagging and potentially bending/breaking the pci e slot. So I was looking at maybe getting:

Graphics Card Brace Support: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01I7QT6QM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AQ6TRUJUARP7E

Current system in my signiture. Thx!
 
Solution
my personal choice msi gaming version

but lets face it any gtx1070 is a great card it comes down to personal choices rather than one card standing out well above the others in my opinion
If you will be overclocking yourself, it doesn't matter as all have excellent cooling. So get the cheapest.
If you are going to use them at stock, just get the highest clocked one out of the box(Zotac, by a signioficant margin).

If you are not going to be carrying your pc around at lan parties often and it'll mostly jsut sit there, no worries about the weight of teh cards.

I do plan on overclocking to see what I can squeeze out of it what I can. Hmm maybe the FTW edition since my current and preivious gpu were from evga
 


Pricing is good and they are excellent cards, so, yeah, the EVGA is a very good choice.
