I have the G1 Gaming and it's awesome, I highly recommend it. However it's a very long card so make sure you have space in your case for it.

The Asus card is solid. 

 

However, instead check your area for the 280X. It costs the same, and performs significantly better.

All of them offer good hardware, while if you live if the US the EVGA warranty and customer support is second to none(unsure about elsewhere). Since all of the cards are good I would suggest that you just pick the one that you like the most.

you shouldn't, get a 380/280x, its much better than the 960

but if you have to, EVGA

Everyone recommends something else, but it just comes down to personal preference with the looks. I prefer the MSI Twin Frozr V coolers above everything else, as I've got a red/black build currently. They only differ slightly in clock speeds, but won't be much noticable. It just depends on what you think looks better. Each company has great support and features.

I would get the cheapest card, there isn't much difference in stock performance, the difference will start to show when you start to OC.

You shouldnt....

If you say he shouldn't you should also explain why.

 

Personally I would say evga purely because of their awesome support.

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough it will be believed.

As is stated in the guide at the top of the forum grab a 280X, 285 or 380 instead... Unless you have some specific need for nvidia.. Either that or save some cash and get a 950...

I'd go for the G1 (my younger brother owns one) but I'd pick something else if it were you.

ROG X570-F Strix | AMD R9 5900X | EK Elite 360 | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 64gb | Samsung 980 PRO 
ROG Strix XG349C | Corsair 4000 | Bose C5 | ROG Swift PG279Q

Logitech G810 Orion | Sennheiser HD 518 |  Logitech 502 Hero

I'm not talking about noise levels, there are some issues happen with it, the G1 can be noisy but it's really freaking good at cooling
