Im building my PC soon and Im looking at the XFX 7870 Double D with the 2 fans. Heard some good and some bad(really the same can be said for every card I looked at on NewEgg). Is that a good card? And if not, which company makes the better card? I know that basically a 7870 is a 7870 no matter what, I just want one thats gonna run cool and not die on me in 3 weeks.

Buy that one anarmypig suggested. It's not exactly your standard Radeon HD 7870, so be sure if you go to crossfire it in the future, that you buy exactly the same card. But that core is a beast.
Will do, thanks guys!

The fastest (and probably the loudest) 7870 is the Myst Edition by PowerColor:

A much cooler and quieter 7870 (it takes up 2 1/2 slots so beware) is the IceQ edition by HIS:
