I would recommend AGAINST those Gigabyte cards - they really went cheap on their fans on everything BUT the Aorus line the last couple-three years.
They work well enough as long as the fans are running though, and decent cooling, but I've had fans go out on *2* of them (1 fan each) in the last month, and the fans are deliberately designed to be a nightmare to try to re-lube (not that re-lubing lasts long in ANY case).

EVGA, MSI are all ball bearing fans (except PERHAPS the MSI blower models, I've not gotten confirmation there either way) - I'm fond of the EVGA SC "black" models for their consistantly good cooling, dual ball bearing fans, low level of fancy "pretty" LED lighting that just wastes money on the card design and construction, and usually low pricing.

Damn the one you are suggesting (08G-P4-5173-KR) is $560 but I can only get 2 at that price. The rest I have to get at $580

What about the 08G-P4-5171-KR EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING, 8GB GDDR5, ACX 3.0 & Black Edition? I can get that one for $553
