Hello guys I am about to pull the trigger on a new GPU but don't know which one of the four to buy.

I generally play a lot of FPS at 1080p up to 1440p
I hear that the MSI GTX 670 PE can be overclocked very high. I have also heard that you could flash the bios on the MSI GTX 680 PE with the 680 Lightnings bios and do some crazy overclocking with it.
My current rig is
MOBO: ASRock Z77 Extreme6.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
RAM: CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
 
Sorry is this better?
MSI GTX 670 Power Edition ($389)
MSI GTX 680 Power Edition ($454)
EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW Signature2 ($409)
Sapphire Radeon Vapor-X HD 7970 GHz ($439)
which would be a good choice?
 
The cooling on the Vapor X version is all that interest me. I realize you can overclock the non-Vapor X model to surpass the GHz model easily. The games aren't a deal breaker I already own both. I guess what it comes down to is the Vapor X colling system worth the extra $?
 
Yep: why, cooler and quite not like a darn jet engine taking off when you crank up the fans to play games my friend, if know what i mean. Also i have the 6 GB version here runs real cool below 60c under full load running "VALLEY BENCH MARKS". AJ. ;) :thup:


P.S. Plus the price i quoted you is $60 Dollars cheaper than yours!

Sorry having looked again at this maybe where at sixes ans sevens here the Dual-X is a very similar design to the Vapor-X and works the same when it comes to cooling etc.
