If you are trying to debate the best thing to do is first look for significant performance differences between the two cards. GPU Boss is good for this. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-1060-vs-EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1060 Just from looking at the two,the MSI is going to be better if you have a...

I would suggest the 1060, faster clock speed. I play arma 3 life and my 1060 ROG Strix works great. Unless you can get the R9 280x significantly cheaper the 1060 would be your best bet. As for your second question, a GTX 980 would be better than a GTX 970. If you are considering other GPU's a...

This would all depend on if your cards are able to run full power. If you get both cards to max out there going to draw the 500w. Keep in mind the manufacturer's power requirements may not be exact. But a rough estimate. For example maybe if the two cards do not have enough VRAM there for they...

I don't think you need a 550W power supply. If its a 1/2 decent power supply you should be fine.

Idle: 30-35C Load: 75-80C Possibly lower with the VaporX Edition. I would still think it would be High 60s or low 70s. Fully loaded. Plus at this temperature this is going to be fairly loud. I would reccomend a GTX 970 or 960 just for the Noise, and the fact you will have a space heater...

There should be some Amperage's' on the side of your PSU. Could you get the readings for the 12V Rail(s). Thanks

I almost forgot, If you order that cooler you should pick up some Thermal Paste if you dont already have any. My personal favorite...

If you still have warranty return the card, but otherwise either buy a aftermarket cooler that includes fan. Or try uninstalling Speedfan and trying something like MSI Afterburner or something similar. Cooler: http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Xtreme-III-Cooler/dp/B007YLUCKQ

I would go with the GTX 750Ti just because its a newer, more powerful card. Now im not sure where you get the 4096Mb of Memory on the 7570... You would be lucky if you used 1024Mb, of that... The 750TI Uses less power, much faster core clock and it runs cooler. I would reccomend making sure your...

I think a gtx 770 is almost equal to a 960, so I would say High, but probably Ultra.

At 1080p Your 960 should max out any game. Its hard to say if a 970 would bottleneck w/ your i5 2500k... I would stick with your 960 for a year or so, then upgrade your rig whenever you get the money.

Yes, both of those PSU's should work fine for your computer.

Well, for the money in watercooling parts, youre going to put in, youre not going to see much of a return... I'd reccomend SLI or pick yourself up one of those new Titan X's.

Buy 2 and SLI, you arent getting any advantage by watercooling a single card. Other than quieter load noise.

As long as you are running a normal ATX size case and not a Mini or Micro ATX Form Factor it should fit.
