the backplate on #2 adds love appeal

love appeal is important

The first one has a backplate. Look in the pics.

Wish I could buy a backplate for my HD 7870 which doesn't require a water-block to mount.
Would be pretty loving sweet

Hay man.u c wut i did?

What is the diffrence between these two cards? And which should I get. I'm probably going to buy the FTW one and then SLI it with a second one down the road.

EVGA 04G-P4-3673-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW+ 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

EVGA 04G-P4-2673-KR GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked+ w/Backplate 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

But can someone explain what is better to get?

I'd recommend the FTW one.

[Perlin Noise]

I'd recommend the SC+ one.
unless you are going for love appeal
inwhich case go with the FTW+ one.

That's a nice set up, why the long face?

Guys
I decided to remove the Aftermarket CPU cooler from my list because I felt like since I was probably not going to game so much and I don't really think it would be terrible to just use the Intel Stock CPU Cooler.

Idk, it seems so difficult to install the CM Hyper Evo 212. :C

it requires some assembly other than that a handicap could do it
