Go with the Classified. They bin their Classified cards, and they have a custom cooler/PCB. They're large though, just a warning :)

Well, EVGA has a WAY better warrenty service (they sometimes replace it with a better card) and they allow you to upgrade the card and just pay the difference, so if you are thinking about going for an 880, it may be worth it. As for the actual card, they are not much different. They will perform the same, run just as cool (gigabyte may even run a bit cooler) and overclock the same. So if we take warrenty out of the equation, I would go for the Gigabyte due to its price.

I would go with the Gigabyte one.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.

I'm going back to a  nvidia card, I been with ATI/AMD for a long while. My last nvidia card was a bfg 6800 gtx, So its time to try something new :)

 

I'm leaning too the gigabyte and hope it all works out good :)  if it doesn't then lesson learned! I just have to hope for a good RMA process or refund etc

 

now I have a i7 920 at 3.2ghz and 6 gb of ram and more then a powerful psu,  Should i be good to go or should i up my cpu clock a bit more and buy more ram?  I'm not a big overclock guy, I think i could get more out of my cpu, but i do not like overclocking.
