I am seeing all of these for $599:

  1. ASRock Steel Legend Triple Fan
  2. Gigabyte Gaming Overclocked Triple Fan
  3. Asus Prime Overclocked Triple Fan
  4. XFX Swift Triple Fan
  5. PowerColor Reaper Triple Fan
  6. Sapphire Pulse Triple Fan

I read that Gigabyte might be less reliable, and with worse customer service.
Anything to watch out for?

Personal preference I would go for 5 or 6 on AMD cards.
 
The one near me had multiple cards but looks like they have about been picked over already. I think I saw at last check, exactly 1 xt at msrp. some more expensive AIB cards. But there was definitely demand. One that I liked the look of they had 25+ and now completely gone
