Trying to decide on what Geforce GTX 570 card to get. Was looking between Asus and Evga, Here are the 4 cards I got it down to

The Evga Card turns out to be the cheapest after Rebates but only by $40 or so tho I am looking to spend between $300 - $350. I'm currently running a Evga Geforce GTX 260 which is really starting to show its age. Here are the Specs on my pc.
Intel i5 - 2500k 3.3ghz (3.7ghz Turbo)
1TB WD Black HD
Corsair 8Gb DDR3 Ram
Evga Geforce GTX 260
850watt Power Supply
Windows 7 Home Premium
Just looking to see what card would be best for my PC and which I would get better Performance out of.

Which Geforce GTX 570?
The thing i hate the most about PC parts... the same part having 4+ versions. I read the names of all 3 EVGA cards closely and they all seem like the exact same card, 'cept for an additional number here or word there
I think ASUS is the best manufacturer, so i recommend that.
I have the MSI Twin Frozr II 6950 and it's been great so far, I'd recommend the 570 version of that if you'd consider it.
From the looks of it the Asus one will run the coolest and possibly the quietest although I can't be sure with that.
Although the EVGA ones are pre-overclocked, so they will perform a bit better. But then with the size of the cooler on the Asus one you could just overclock it yourself and have it run cooler.
Obviously, I'm not expert, but that is what it seems to me.

Based on your needs for output.
Honestly, you won't make a mistake no matter what you buy. EVGA just makes fantastic cards.
EVGA - proper after sales support.

I wouldn't get the EVGA HD unless your not going to sli, but just buy one card and it should be okay. Still it has an hdmi cable without an mini hdmi adapter. I was considering getting that card, but then I was worried about the heat if you sli, I had problems in the past with similar designs. If you put two of them together with that cooler design, it will overheat the top card. Unlike the normal external exhaust evga card which is a good choice. Make sure whatever you get says AR, not KR.
With the asus one, it takes three slots, so it's a problem for some mobos like mine where the cards are stacked right on top of each other. Should be okay on a normal mobo that has more space, but if you ever plan to sli, maybe it's not a good idea.
the normal evga card is loud though and you can't overclock it because of some vrm phase shit, where it doesn't have alot of them, so it fries easily. Don't overclock the gtx 570 cards, you can do it with the gtx 580 easily with no problems. But if you put the fan at 100% or near there, it sounds like a hair dryer. That's the advantage of the HD card, it's more quiet, but not totally quiet.
I don't know if you are going to sli or not, it will affect your decision I suppose. If not, maybe the asus card is okay, or the gtx 570hd. But if you are, go with the regular gtx 570 where it can exhaust heat better.
