I am undecided between to gpus, on one hand is the msi 560 ti twin frozr which ive heard is a fairly good card, keeps cool etc. And on the other hand is an ECS 1536MB GTX480 which packs more power (which would be awesome), but is ecs any good? Is it worth going with ecs for the extra performance?
Both cards are around $270 ( I'd prefer not to spend any more), I'm also not worried about future proofing as this card will probably last me till the next gen video cards come out next year.

Good to hear, I'm also wondering about the temps and if it's (the 480) good to overclock if anybody knows?

BTW I'll probably be playing some of the more recent games like BF3 and Skyrim

I'm pretty sure the 400 series supports DX11 (not a massive difference to me anyway). My main concern is basically just the ECS brand and if I will be able to use the 480 without any issues, mainly overheating, (build quality?)
