okay i admit that picture does look pretty sexy compared to the ones i saw, much more glamous. but nevertheless, for 600 (NZD) i would go with the upgraded 7970 r9 280x anyday for about over 1100 :S

Pretty much all the non reference MSI ones, XFX ones (usually), i think the new windforce cooler has a metal shroud too

My MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk is aluminium, no plastic on the thing except the fan blades.

 

As for sexiest card, the MSI GTX 780 Lightning looks pretty mad. :D
