General rule of thumb, always get the best one you can afford that has the best cooling solution and power design. The details on power design can be hard to find but generally google should be all you need to find it. A solid power design means the card gets more, more stable power and will have a better chance to overclock well compared to a weaker power design. My Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming for example has the same power design as most other GTX 980s and as a result was a phenomenal overclocker.

Even if you do not plan to overclock the GPU, the better cooling and power design usually accompany higher factory clocks.
