in short find the one that has two fans and your done. IMHO. if color matters go for it
the performance will all be within 3-7 frames per second of each other (assuming all the cards are the same family of course)

my Sapphire, I forgot Sapphire good brand, hd 7950 is 5 years old and still running.
the main issue with GPU's is cooling fan failure, hence my suggestion for a dual/triple. some cards are now equipped with easily replaceable fans.
if you keep it clean and cool there is no reason why it should not last many years.
a low quality power supply can shorten the life of components. keep in mind.

Thanks four your reply. I am only going to go with NVIDIA, so Sapphire is out of the question. My PSU is a seasonic 850 watts, so one of the best brands out there. I always clean my PC out every couple of months, and it has good cooling. I am thinking between EVGA and ASUS for the GPU.
