ehh.. you don't need best GTX 580 SLI setup to have good FPS but Asus has super expensive GTX 580 that uses 3 Slots and its redicisly expensive iin Australia its allmost cost of a GTX 590 just get a EVGA GTX 580 3gb and a EVGA GTX 580 1.5gb as bottem GPU

You could go with either one, I've seen great things about both. I'd go with the 2-slot Amp and not the 3-slot Amp2 to maximize you're cooling ability.(Not that you siad anything about the Amp2, but just know that a 2 slot card on a 3 slot motherboard >>> 3slot card.)

I use MSI's Lightning Extreme 580 GTX in SLI. Reading toms reviews indicate that this card does well in Metro where others have not done well.

Either Card is great i'm big Fan of EVGA i have a EVGA GTX 580 superclocked edition and it works great most GPU brands are same as others on reference design it just comes down to your personal taste but EVGA has best Warranty and RMA in NVIDIA market

i want the best card to use in sli i mean it needs to blow the air out from the back so it does not get to hot when running sli will it work with my setup when using the noctua nh 14 and the sound blaster titanium?

theses cards do not get hot and it sucks air from inside case and blows it out side and if you got fans and they are cheap to get some if your that worried about temps

buying aftermarket version does not meany anything man standard reference design is best way to go unless you have liquid cooling maybe spending extra 200 on a liquid cooling would be best option for you it all depends on how much wanna spend but for most part reference design performs same as non reference some are overclocked and some boast lower temps but over all reference design is way to go your rig will not get hot or over heat it will run fine just make sure you got a good case with good air flow

people buy aftermarket version to boast how big ther E Peen is nothing more only differences is 3gb version and 1.5gb version Overclocking anyone with some knowledge knows how overclock and with theses new GPU its even easier they give you software
