Need some assistance deciding on what graphics card to buy

[Flyabout]

I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to a 1070 and I've decided between two different graphics cards, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Express-Graphics/dp/B01GXZ7Q3Y/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1473180621&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+1070
or https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Nvidia-GeForce-Gaming-Graphic/dp/B01GVHNWUK/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1473180621&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx+1070
I'm looking to keep the graphics card for around 5 years so I need a reliable graphics card.
Thanks in advance.

Go with Gigabyte one as their G1 cooler is much better than EVGA one. Less heat = longer Lifespan.

Those the Gigabtye G1 use a single or dual 8 pin power plug; and is it a custom PCB or just stock PCB with a custom cooler? I say this because scan.co.uk are doing the EVGA 1070 FTW for £420 plus free delivery. Just bought one and with EVGA precisionx software it automatically clock to 1999mhz (well on my card). The FTW has better power delivery, 100mm fans and is a custom PCB. Update - Just checked. The G1 is a single 8 pin power card. Get the EVGA FTW would be my view.

Load tempratures some GPUs benchmarked.
Gigabyte 5c lower than EVGA.

Wait, Get MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X, costs 420$, runs even cooler than Gigabyte, EVGA FTW, EVGA SC. And it looks badass too.
And yeah it has Dual 8-Pin connectors for power, and MSI is a trusted gaming brand afterall.

EVGA FTW and MSI GAMing X are basically the same. by the way the FTW has a much bigger heatsink and fans (100mm) as oppossed to the SC. So either would indeed by good.

And MSI Got larger Heat pipes with better Fan Blades.
