Guys, I'm planning to buy GTX 960 but when i checked online i found a ton of different cards.
At least two zotac 960's (Amp and non amp edition), two different msi versions, and also an ASUS Strix 4GB version. I'm really confused and would really appreciate if somebody can help out.

I recently bought the Zotac one (Amp edition) and I'm happy with it at 1080p.

Zotac offers 5 years warranty...

MSI and Gigabyte G1 are good + expensive but are huge in size your cabinet needs to be able to accommodate them.

I am too looking at 960 ...planning to go with asus strix 4gb

The speeds are more or less comparable and you have ability to overclock them.

I don't have a problem with the cabinet size.
I just wanted to know that 4GB GPU memory in the strix card over the 2GB ones in the other 960's actually give any advantage. I'm actually getting the Asus strix 960 with 4 GB memory for 18000 whereas other 2GB ones are actually costlier. Hence the confusion.

You should go with the cheaper card here. 4 GB offers no additional advantage at 1080p. Go for 4 GB over 2 GB only if a) You're gaming at over 1080p b) it's cheaper.

Maybe you are right for 1080p gaming 2GB is more than enough. So going with this GPU gets you under 16k from snapdeal:Inno3d GTX 960 2GB @ 15.3k

Condition for availing 7% discount in snapdeal: Buy any 2 computer components

I'm getting the ASUS Strix 4GB one on theitdepot for 18600. So I'm actually tempted to go for it. What do you guys think? Just to keep it a little future proof as well.
