Building first pc - need GPU
Last response: in Systems
Hi, I'm currently building my first gaming PC and I'm wondering between 2 Graphic cards.
EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (400$)

And
MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (390$)

I'm tempting to go with the first one. but some people is telling me the second one is better(better cooling system). Witch one do you guys thing I should go for? Witch one would be the best? I want to play BF3 and other big games in max, or at least close to max settings.
These are my other parts I'm buying if it can help in anyway way to decide the best GPU:

More about : building gpu
For starters I would suggest rather than the UD5H - which itself is a good board, to go with the UP4 TH, which adds Thunderbolt support: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
The EVGA is an excellent card, I've heard good things about the Twin FROZR, but I'd actually suggest going with the Gigabyte Windforce which has the best cooling solution: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
