Question about GPU brands?

[mistakwa]

Alright i am building a new PC for gaming and i am wondering what video card i should get. I already have two picked out the first one is an overclocked MSI gtx560ti 2gb and the second one is and EVGA gtx560ti 2gb that is NOT overclocked. some of my friends that have been building PC's longer then me say to go with the EVGA card just because they make a better product than MSI. I was wondering what you guys think?

Both of the cards linked there are good quality GPUs. I wouldn't necessarily agree that EVGA make a 'better quality product' than MSI, but EVGA customer support service is 2nd to none.

Keep in mind you can always overclock the EVGA card yourself if you more comfortable with that brand.

The Twin Frozr AM cooler on the MSI card does provide serious cooling to help keep temps under control if you do plan to OC.

If you're building a new system, I'd recommend posting in the new builds section to get some feedback from the experts

In my personal preference I will go with the MSI one because it's cheaper and it has Twin Frozer II which is a good cooler for overclocking. But again this is a personal preference.

The MSI card is faster if you don't OC on your own and has better cooling if you are going to.
I would save some money and get a 1gb card unless you plan to SLI for Nvidia Surround.
