I'm not sure which card i should get; the Gigabyte Windforce 7870 or the MSI Hawk 7870. Is there a big difference? Is so, which one should I get. (I live in Australia so I'm not using Newegg :)

It looks like the Gigabyte has a 50 MHz stock advantage, but that probably won't make a noticeable difference unless you're doing benchmarks.

I am guessing the Gigabyte will have better thermals and may be a bit quieter. If it were me personally, I'd go for the Gigabyte unless there is an unreasonable price difference between the 2.
