the POV does look like a good option

cu II and cu II Top are both great cards. Its my understanding that the "top" is just the highest binned cards which will allow slightly higher overclocking.

ah ok well i'd probably just stick to the cu II version as im not too worried about overclocking so it looks like its between that and the POV or evga guess its just down to preferences now

Overclockers, Dabs, Ebuyer, Misco, Pixmania, Eclipse Computers and Aria spring to mind.
If you're going to get a card with a reference cooler you might as well get the cheapest you can find and overclock yourself, but that is ONLY my opinion, I've always avoided factory overclocked cards because of the price premium, but then I'm a tightwad and (sometimes terminal) tinkerer
I'd go for the Asus, though, just for the superior cooler.

Thanks for all the help i think i've got all the info i need!

 

[ebola28]

all three are great cards, go for the cheapest of the three IMO

MSi GTX 670 PE is probably the best card on the market IMO.. Triple Overvoltage means you can overclock this card more than any other card, benchmarks prove that. The Twin Frozr IV cooler also is the quietest out of all of them, and the temps remain pretty low compared to any reference card/board. The Asus DCII is also a great card, and EVGA is really uncreative w/ their cards..
