Whats the difference?

So I want this:
MSI Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card

But on PC Part Picker it offers me this version:

MSI Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card (R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC) - $267

and this version:

MSI Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB Video Card (R7870-2GD5T/OC) - $189.00

Before I could have bought the card (MSI Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card) for $179

Picture

So whats the difference and why can't I find that card anymore? There's only the Ghz Edition one from Amazon thats $189...

^^ You''re looking at two 7850's

OP;

MSI Global ? Graphics Card - R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC

That's the $267 option

MSI Global ? Graphics Card - R7870-2GD5T/OC

That's the $189 option.

I would grab the cheaper one, spec wise they are exactly the same, they just use different coolers.

If you are planning on spending about 250$ id get or the 7950 or the r9 280x for a bit more

That's why I recommended the cheaper option because he only wanted to spend $179...

A GHz Edition will usually run you more than $10 Extra, so it's worth it in that regard, and in actuality, it's more powerful than the $267 anyway.

Thanks for all the input guys!

Whats the difference?
