Im looking to buy one but I cannot decide which brand. Does any of you guys have a 760 and which one did you pick?

edit: I am looking at the ones with the $260-$250 range

I'd get this one http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DHW4HS4/

EVGA's awesome warranty, and the ACX cooler runs pretty cool and quiet

Doesn't necessarily matter which one you buy, with some brands you might get a game or two, you might get better warranty. I guess the biggest difference is the cooler on a GPU. It would be good if you get a card that has a good cooler. But usually those take the price up a bit.

I have the one that platypus recommended, and I'd recommend it as well.

I have the superclocked version of the same one platypus mentioned. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHW4HXY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

He's right. It's really cool and quiet.

Mine also came with a very silly looking Game of thrones -style poster.

Superclocked is a suckers game, the only cards that used binned GPUs are the classified models, a non-superclocked card will be able to attain "superclocked" speeds no problem with EVGA PrecisionX or MSI Afterburner

If i remember correctly, when I bought it, it was the same price as the non-superclocked version. I don't claim to know much about pc building but I think it was a good deal.

I purchased the MSI version because at the time it was the cheapest non-reference version. I have no complaints so far.

i got mine for £219 while 760s were about the same price (reference coolers about £200 and non-reference £230). for such a small price difference the 280X is worth it over the 760 (plus the extra VRAM may come in handy some time in the future, not saying the 760's 2GB isn't enough though). and that 760 is reference lol who cares about those

tbf 280X prices have gone up a bit because of litecoin mining and shit, just saying though, if you can find a 280X for about the same price as a good, non-reference 760 or just a little bit more it's worth it

I literally picked http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GDDR5-2GB-WINDFORCE-GV-N760OC-2GD-REV2-0/dp/B00DGM8B6O/ up today, so far I love it, got it OC'ed and it is holding steady. The fucker is over a foot long though, baaaarely fit in the case. Something to keep in mind.

I have the msi version of it but in the past i've really liked the EVGA's service as people have mentioned. Probably worth it just for that. The dual fan cooling is really nice over the reference cards. Doubt there's much of a performance difference between any of them though, aside to overclocking

It has tf in the name it must be made for team fortress. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745 was $250 when i bought it

Do you think an Sandy Bridge i3 would bottleneck this card really noticeably?

Not worried about tf2, just wondering if the i3 and the 760 together would be able to handle newer games.

No, a sandy i3 won't bottleneck a 760 by any means
