If you go for a red and black colour scheme MSI or ASUS is the way to go.

 

EDIT: Oh and of course you could paint the aluminium cover of the MSI heatsink, but I'm afraid that will void the warranty.

I'd only recommend the Sapphire Tri-X, avoid the Windforce - it's too loud.

Ok the power color PCS+ Runs super cool, one of the coolest and is also the cheapest option, comes with a nice backplate too. Only problem is it is litterally 4 inches thick, and i want to crossfire.....
