Hello guys

So a store near me has an promotion on a MSI GTX 760. I mean, I save about 30€ with that. But my doubt is that it is not the TWIN FROZR version. So it only has one fan like that:

The TWIN FROZR has a cooler like that:

Is there a big diferente on it?

Oh and btw, i'm like a casual gamer, I play League of Legends, CS:GO, might start to play Watch Dogs and something like that. Is the GTX 760 good enough? Or should I go for the 770, which is around 80€ more expensive than the 760?

Thanks

So should I get this one: http://www.pcdiga.com/2/11344/Grafica-MSI-GTX760-OC-2GB-N760-2GD5-OC?pagina=2

instead of this one?:

The first one is cheaper for some days. But I'm like thinking if I shouldn't wait and get an GTX 770. But for what I do (League of Legends, CS:GO, Watch Dogs, etc etc) is it really worth to give 100€ more for the 770? What do you think? Also, is MSI as good as Asus?

My computer specs: intel i5 4590, 2x4GB RAM ddr3 1600Mhz, XFX 550W, asus h97M-plus.

PS - the website is in portuguese, sorry about that!
 
The one with only one fan is the reference design, it will be noisy than the Twin Frozr design and hotter.
If your case is a mini ITX and the spacing for the card is really compact the reference design is better. If you have a standard ATX case, the open air design would be ideal.
If you want high settings in modern games like in Watchdogs, GTX 760 should be ok but GTX 770 is more for ultra settings. A GTX 760 can max League of Legends, CS:GO pretty well since it is not really gpu intensive.

My case is an mini-ATX Cooler Master N200. The space is not really that compact, I mean, this case was made for big GPUs. But since it will be more noisy than the Twin Frozr, maybe I will not choose it because I also have the stock CPU cooler and 2 big fans who already does enough noise.

Maybe my best option is to wait and save some money to buy the GTX 770. Pricier, but is always good to have the best
