Hey guys I am building a computer and I can decide what Graphics card I should choose. Out of
1. Gigabyte Windforce OC 2gb
2. Msi Twin Frozr 2gb
3. Evga Acx Superclocked 2gb
4. Asus DirectCU II 2gb
Price is not a problem I just want to know which card performs the best and is the coolest and quietest. Could you please tell me what card is the best or at least give me the top 2 out of the 4 cards. I am trying to build a perfect computer and I want to make sure I buy the best preforming parts. Thanks

Best solution chosen by ErVivek
On nVidia cards I look first to Asus and EVGA and generally always end up with one or the other, unless the client wants a specific brand (hehe, and even then on occasion they end up going to Asus or EVGA...of the two I prefer the Asus, the CU design is nice and cool and they always seem to have plenty of OC headroom, I've got a pair of 780s in SLI and still have around a 25% OC on the base clock
The windforce has the highest base and boost clock speed. All have but one have 7010Mhz effective memory clock. For all intents and purposes they are identical. ASUS with the lowest clock, but their custom PCBs are built for overclocking. results will vary by chip though.
Really comes down to noise and temperatures, which would mean a benchmark round up of these specific ones.
ASUS DCUII is fairly quiet, but I do recall it losing on temperature in a round up of R290. ACX has been a popular choice for EVGA's better support. Haven't owned an twin frozr so not sure how they perform.
When it comes to down to this, I usually go for aesthetics. (Even though my case isn't windowed)

I have read a lot of reviews on this subject and most of them have answers saying there all really good but I want to know which one is the best or what are the best 2 out if the 4.

Direct links to what you are looking at would be helpful. Even within the same name there are usually variations on clock speeds.
ASUS DCUII generally come pretty close to stock, but they have a lot headroom for overclocking.
EVGA ACX Superclocked tend to be factory setup where they can run at.
Not 100% sure on the other two.
