Video Card Help!

I've narrow down my search for the hunt on video cards and now I'm not sure which to get. Need help deciding.

MSI Gaming N770 TF

or

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 DUAL SC

I been away from msi products for a while, my last msi was a video card..the gt 7300. I think i also had a 5200 from them but don't remember. Their Mobos weren't so great. I been on evga bandwagon since gtx8800 then gtx460 and their cards have been great to me. Now I'm thinking if i should stick with them and their overprice tags or go on a msi jump.

EVGA, simple, warranty and rma process are simple with them. Everybody else is painful to deal with.

First question is...... does it have to be Nvidia?

Always good to have choices, even if he has settled on the two cards above.

only because nvidia has better AA in games, and works better with modded games. The 270X doesn't much up to a 770 and 280X is 100$ more..plus their cards run loud and hot

Haven't ever heard anything about the modded games issue, and the AA edge is tiny.

My card is currently idling at 22c (room temp) and hits around 72c at full load during summer. I can barely hear the fan over my H100 and definitely can't when I'm wearing my headset (which is how most of us game so noise doesn't make any difference).

On topic. I'd go with the MSI, it's cheaper and you get the same quality aftersales service as EVGA (EVGA isn't as nice to folks outside of N.America and maybe Canada).
