Both of the cards you listed have about equal build quality, and in reality it doesn't come down to which one you pick, but rather luck.

When buying a new card you never know if you're gonna get a good or a bad card, there might be manufacturer errors that show years after buying the card, and these errors have a way bigger impact on your cards durability than the general quality of the card, and when the cards you have chosen are so close to each other in terms of build quality - it really comes down to luck.

With that said I would prefer the Sapphire card, simply because I have had many problems with manufactural defects on Gigabyte motherboards and GPUs in the past.

Hope this helps
