Alright so here's the deal: I'm planning to replace my outdated GTS450 with a new GTX670 (even though 700 series is out, the card's price-performance seems outstanding to me). So the possible versions of this card in my local store are:
Asus GeForce GTX670 2GB DirectCU Mini OC @ 292€
Gigabyte GeForce GTX670 2GB @ 315€
Gainward GeForce GTX670 2GB @ 320€
Gainward GeForce GTX670 2GB Phantom @ 335€
Well, every euro matters at the moment since I'm upgrading my rig part by part so here's my main question: Why should I NOT get the Asus Mini GPU ? I have a feeling there's a big downside, no matter how sweet it looks moneywise. My case will be the Shinobi by Bitfenix, using Sharkoon Silent Eagle 1000 120mm & 140mm for the case's fans. (Air Cooled)
PS. If you see my GTX670 as a bad resort, please tell me! My poor GPU knowledge + Forum/Benchmarking guidance led me to this choice. My aim with this rig is play & record WoW @ Ultra-ish Graphics (Lowered shadows & A/A) while aiming to be as future proof as possible. (Video editting is also in the mix, planning to hit the 4770k later on! )
