I'm upgrading from my crappy zotac gtx460 and I want to upgrade to GTX560 ti. Which makes do you guys recommend?

I have my eye on MSI and Asus, although I'm looking more into EVGA now. I want something that runs COOL and with low temperature (something my zotac never did). I know the MSI one does that well. EVGA has life time warranty but I don't know if it's quiet and cool enough compared to MSI and Asus. Let me know your recommendations (either for different makes or different video card all together).

edit:

my power supply is corsair GS600 (600W)
my resolution is 1920x1080
and i use this computer mainly for gaming.

IMO you cant go wrong with a card from Gigabyte, Asus or MSI. All three are great brands, have solid custom coolers and factory OCs. Seems like one of the gigabyte cards is the cheapest of the bunch.

The EVGA card is a good deal too considering its lifetime warranty, but its a 100% reference design, which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but I think the custom cards from the above 3 are better.

Your right in the fact that the MSI models run cool.Asus and MSI often compete in the benchmarks for coolest card.

What is your budget for the GTX560ti?

Which EVGA are you referring to?Post a link.

What are the rest of your system specs?(CPU,RAM,etc.)

Here's what GTX560ti I would reccomend.The MSI Hawk GTX560ti has a really nice factory O.C.I doubt you can push it any further that's how high it is.

The Hawk use's the same heatsink as the Twin Frozr II.
