All great brands , really can't make a poor choice when it comes to the 3GB versions , performance is almost identical.What are the rest of your components?

Okay, I need help to see if all of these are compatible with my Mobo.

Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 Non-ECC CL14 DIMM Desktop Memory

Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache

If you were talking all founders editions cards I would agree but when you throw in custom coolers and PCB's I would have to disagree. Personally for non-FE cards...I would go with Asus first, then Gigabyte...then things get murkier. EVGA puts better quality parts then MSI in the graphics cards but the failure rates of both seem about the same to me regardless (I have owned all the named brands you asked of, in the past). Obviously this is all based on my personal experience so take that for what it is. One brand I don't see and would put ahead of EVGA and MSI but behind the others is Zotac (my last two purchases actually gtx 980's and gtx 1080s). I would agree with greens though cost should be your number one motivator assuming you don't plan on going more the 2 generations before your next upgrade.

yeah you can download the drivers from nvidia's website. As for your PSU I would at least try to find out the make and model to make sure you do not have a crap PSU that could fry your system. Assuming it's of a decent build quality you have plenty of power to work with.
