I am currently planning building my first pc, but I cant figure which GPU i should choose. 

I am stuck between the msi rtx 2070 ventus and gigabyte rtx 2070 windforce. I can also get the zotac rtx 2070 super for the same price, but its a demo card, so I dont know if it's worth it. Which card is better and I should choose?

Thank you

MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS...     =  RTX2070....   the small margin on hardware output/performance on each card,   it all really comes down to taste, really..  which manufacturer is best to your liking regarding design.     Ofc, some is better cooled than others..  thus, you wont go wrong with Asus, MSI, Gigabyte.. neither of them.   

CPU: I9-9900k OC 5Ghz + Gigabyte AORUS AIO 360 watercooling - GPU: Gigabyte AORUS 2080ti Waterforce Xtreme 11g - RAM: Gigabyte AORUS 32gb(4x8 dual) 3200mhz - MB: Gigabyte AORUS Ultra Z390 - Storage: 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB + 1x WD Black 4tb - PSU: Corsair AX760 Platinum Modular - Display: 2x AORUS FI27Q-P

PSA: No, I didn't waste all that money on computers, (except the main one) my server cost $40, the intel NUC was my old PC (although then it had 8GB of ram, I gave the bigger stick of ram to a person who really needed it), my laptop is used and the second PC is really cheap.

I like tinkering with computers and have a personal hatred towards phones and everything they represent (I daily drive an iPhone 7, or a 6, depends on which one works that day)
