GeForce GTX 670: Which vendor?
I was heading for the EVGA GeForce GTX 670, and I just wanted to make sure here what peoples opinions are on different vendors.
My friend said Asus and MSI are the best you can get, but to me, EVGA looks like the XFX of nvidia. I picked the EVGA side, because the cooler looked cool and would suit my case. I don't know if it's loud/hot.
Also, I'm pretty sure I'm fine, but will my power supply be sufficient for this upgrade?  | My System Specs |
