The asus card has better cooling for other components such as memory and VRMs. although the Gigabyte one got a recommended buy from Tom's, when Tom's reviewed the cards, the Gigabyte one was cheaper. at the same price, the asus card is better

Not much difference between the two. The Gigabyte has a factory overclock (980 mhz vs. 915 mhz for the Asus). The Gigabyte takes up 2 slots, while the Asus is a 3 slot card. The Asus fans are supposed to be slightly quieter at load.

I'd get the Asus, but both would be on my short list.

the 670 from ASUS is a 2-slot card, same as gigabyte

 

[cookieninja]

also would the gigabyte 670 fit in a corsair white 600t

 

[vmem]

yup, both cards would fit snug

 

[cookieninja]

which case would be better for a h100 the silverstone rv01 or the 600t?

 

[vmem]

the silverstone raven are some of my favorite cases due to the design, but they do not fit any radiators well. use the 600t for the H100

 

[cookieninja]

thx for the help

 

[cookieninja]

any tips for building 1st time

 

[vmem]

watch all the newegg tutorials carefully. do this first

then, when all your parts arrive, open the packages carefully, visually inspect your parts and look through the manual, especially the motherboard manual, before you begin.

oh, and make sure you have a non-magnetic screw-driver and an anti-static wrist strap. all the rest of the process should be pretty smooth. just set aside an afternoon if it's your first build
