GPU / SLi Help

[Sammells]

Hello Community!
I'm going to get straight to the point.
What's the best version of the GTX 570?
Asus Direct CU II? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17117
Gainward Phantom? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1177&products_id=16865
Will these cards fit in a SLi formation on a MSI Z68A-GD80 Gen 3 board? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18385
Only running a maximum of a 2 way SLi! Also i will be overclocking the GPU.
Thanks a lot for your help, also this is the power supply i'll be running.

I would go with two of these , Evga is a great company and they have great customer service and tech support and they have a lifetime warrenty on thier cards which they do honor. They also make great video cards.

They are reference cards, they will run hotter that the ones he suggested, Also the PSU he chose is a great one.

Asus Direct CU II is great but it takes 3 slots, and this is really a big problem.
The phantom has great reviews, i recommend it btw. or you can still go for a Gigabyte or MSI ones.
PSU is okay.

Even on a large board like a MSIZ68A-GD80 G3? Could 2 possibly fit? I want to overclock the card so needs good cooling, hence me choosing the Gainward / Asus. Only thing is the Gainward is almost 3 slots too! AND, AND the Asus has a 3 year warranty......
Evga i wouldn't touch, no room for overclocking, reference card, average cooling ect. ALSO I'm in Australia, no life time warranty here bud. Also the card isn't "Superclocked"

Both cards will take 6 slots, you see if it will fit or not in your case, but you wouldn't have a place for anything to hook in PCI slots.
Also, the space between cards will be too narrow, and you'll get a heat problems.
Gainward is 2 slots not 3, And as i told you the Gigabyte and MSI are good ones too, great for overclocking.
The gigabyte has 3 fans which makes it cooler and silent....
