Im looking to buy one of these 4 GPUs.
Asus gtx 680 4gb - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121705
Gigabyte gtx 680 4gb - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125448
EVGA gtx 680 FTW - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130794
MSI gtx 680 4gb twin frozr - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127695

Im not looking for anything but a 4gb for future proofing reasons. Dont plan to OC much if any at all, and not running SLI or mulitiple monitors.
Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome.

1. Since you will not SLI, I prefer a non-reference like cooler, (not like evga, similar to reference which blows air to the back). With that, I would go for asus, its cooler is quiet and cool.
2. Since you are not considering to OC, why not go for a factory oc version. Won't hurt much. If that's the case, go for TOP version of Asus gtx 680.
3. If in case you will plan to SLI, better go for evga, since it would sandwich the cooler if you would use coolers like Asus'.
