If you want custom cooler, Gigabyte Windforce one, else Sapphire or HIS with stock cooler.

just get the Gigabyte HD7970 - triple fan will serve you better and cooler and gives you more headroom for OC to improve performance in the future ;-)

Hmmm... but that 3fan monster is the best thing to dump hot air inside the case. ;)

@OP: Make sure your cabby has good airflow.

Also its a very long card, so make sure your cabby can actually take it.
