Looking to buy a new 2070 super

Hey all, 

I'm looking at buying a new 2070 super, and hoping for advice as to which manufacturer to go with. So far I've heard that MSI and EVGA are great, but I like the looks of the cooling setup on the Gigabyte super windforce oc/ gaming oc (and the MSI card is currently out of stock).  Is there anything to be concerned about with Gigabyte?  Should I wait for the MSI RTX 2070 SUPER Gaming X card, or go with Gigabyte?

I agree, however Gigabyte which is 15 minutes from me in Pasadena;  I dislike their RMA.  You have to send in your mobo or video card and they fix it and send it back.  While others like Logitech or ASUS send you a bran new board when you go through their RMA and what not.

Yes EVGA is the best, they only concentrate on nVidia and that can't be a bad thing.  Also yes their RMA is the superb.

Yeah, their warranty practices are what make me suggest them and really, only them.

An absolutely solid company.

That's what I've heard, which makes me hesitate about buying one of their gpus.

However, I've heard that the super variants of the EVGA gpus are plagued with coil wine...
