Help choosing brand of GTX 760

[LiberAnar]

Quick question,and then I can finally take a break from obsessively reading reviews and forums.

I've decided on a GTX 760, and I'm not sure if which brand is better. I've been told there is more to it than reading the specs and looking for the bigger numbers.
People seem to love Asus, but I might want to keep the $25 and go with PNY..

The games AC4 and SC:Blacklist aren't bad(Come with Asus), but $25 can get a lot during the Steam Christmas sale(and I have a huge backlog like most). But, I mostly want to buy something dependable.

EVGA all the way. You can't go wrong with them and you get the option of stepping up to a better GPU up to 90 days after purchasing. Get the ACX cooler version with the highest clocks.

I saw some graphs saying that one runs the hottest?

From what I've found the asus dirct cu2 keeps it the coolest.

I would disregard them entirely. The cooler is great and pretty much comparable to the other major coolers on the market (MSI's Twin Frozr, Gigabyte Windforce, etc.) but you also get the reliability of EVGA and their step up program.
