For a few quid more, you could go for this.

Better cooling solution than the EVGA, which uses the rather poor/loud reference cooler.

Sorry mate, i linked to the wrong version of the MSI 470. Op amended, the twin frozr card features a better cooler than the standard reference cards, quieter and cooler running.

If watercooling then just get the cheapest 470, no point in paying xtra for cooling and then whipping it off!

Not going to watercool it just yet but I see your point

I think the EVGA GTX470 is a better choice than other brands if you are going to watercool it in the future, as it has 10 years warranty and it actually cover the removal of the stock cooler (if I'm not mistaken), unlike most other brands which the warranty is voided with the cooler removed.
