Need help picking out a good one. For reference, my case can fit 415mm cards, and I am using an 850W PSU.

Not sure what my budget is. May or may not be getting a temp job, have a chance at making $1500 if it works out. . . and I need about $740 more for the rest of the components for my rig. . . so If I DO get the job, I'll have about $700 dollars to play with.

I was looking at GTX 590's, but some reviews said they are overrated, and get REALLY hot (90+ degrees celsius!). GTX 580 might not be bad.

It would be cool if you could find a card that matches this mobo's color scheme but it's an odd coloration so it's not a big deal if you can't. I'd much rather have a nice card than a decent one that matches
 
you could get a GTX590 and shove some watercooling on therebut thatd bump up the price quite a bit, or get two 580s and run them in SLI, or get two 560s or 570s in SLI :P the GTX590 is essentially two cards in one but if you had two cards managing heat would be easier and you could overclock them

Thanks for the advice.

Assuming I get the funds for it by October (which is the deadline for my rig being built because of Battlefield 3), I think I'd like to go with 2 580's. Should be able to destroy just about everything I throw at it =]

hell yeah it will, just make sure youve got a good enough PSU to power those monsters

EDIT: just saw you said 850W you would probably need an 1000W+ just to be on the safe side
