EVGA is, by no means, the best brand. In terms of Nvidia-exclusive brands, it's one of the best, but it's not the best, and not the most durable. That prize is passed between the top 3, which happens to include EVGA, but it's not just EVGA, admin98. Now, yes, MSI isn't the best buy, but it's one of the top non-exclusive companies in the GPU business, so you're discrediting MSI pretty hard there.
Also, locked-multiplier processors can be overclocked, but they have to be overclocked using a method that isn't entirely safe, especially if you do not get a good motherboard, and they can't go very far, and the motherboard restricts how far they can go, etc. Of course, AMD processors can go a lot further with this than Intel processors, and locked-multiplier Intel processors are not built to withstand overclocking, so it's not recommended. By anyone. Seriously, only do it if you're sadistic, and like throwing money away. I don't even recommend looking up what I'm talking about unless you have a toilet that uses money instead of water, and a shower that drops 2-dollar coins on your head instead of water, and your chair is made from 100-dollar bills reinforced with quarters, and you have a suit made of solid gold.
