4670k, msi mpower motherboard, 8gb ddr3 1600

I would like to do some slight over clocking but nothing hardcore.

Which card do I go with?

Msi 760 Hawk 2gb for $290

Or

Evga 760 super clocked for $265

I don't really care about the extra 25$ so just give me opinions on what's better.

Neither, get a 7970.

 

Costs the same, performs better, has more VRAM and you get lots of free games.

I would go for the evga one because of their customer service.

did you want nvidia for any particular reason? if not, go 7970! if you wanted the 760 for CUDA or PhysX, then i would get the cheaper EVGA one!
