HEY first off i would like to say thank you for all the help you have given me over the years i always find all the info i need here. Ok so heres my problem.

I want to get a new gpu for my i5 2500k and im looking at the GTX 560s. Keep in mind please I dont want a 560 ti simply because i dont think its worth 60 more bucks for 5-10% more fps.

Here is what im looking at

OK the first one is superclocked but not an issue here since i will overclock either one as much as i can when i get it, but the price of it and the cooling is what bothers me. It seems to have a smaller fan than the second not overclocked GTX 560 but with the 10$ off and rebate and free shipping it turns out cheaper. I have 2 days to decide as the offer ends on 4/30.
The reviews are better on the non OC one so that is also a plus.

If you can please guide me..
Which fan will cool better?
Is the OCd one just as reliable as the normal one?

cpu i5 2500k oc to 4.5ghz
psu seasonic 620w

Seems like a dumb thing to post but it would help me out ALOT as i value your opinions.

this is an his iceq x hd 6870 which is good in cooling and allover performance and it is less in price.:)

the hd 6870 is the best bang for the buck it gives performance over price.

there u can see that this card is little bit faster then gtx 560 and its an good card of its price.:)
