the asus DCII, msi twin frozr, or gigabyte x3fan models are amazing on cooling granted you have the case airflow to support a non reference card. if not, the EVGA reference will be good for you. ive heard good things about gainward, but never have actually seen one of those crazy looking coolers reviewed

I am about to buy this GTX 580 along with a brand new PSU.
The PSU is the reason I am not overclocked right now and am stuck at 3.3GHz.

My case is a Coolermaster HAF-X.

 
Evga is a rock solid company and they stand behind thier video cards 100% , thier customer service and tech support is the best I have dealt with on any Pc component. They do warrenty thier cards for life and they also do honor the warrenty.

ASUS is apparently the best in all categories.
