EVGA or Gigabyte are solid choices. PNY is pretty junk tier.
Galax if you can find one, their build quality is second to none. i've got a gt 240 from them (called Galaxy then) that's been running close to nonstop in a streaming box since 2009 with no hiccups and probably will continue to do so for another 10 years
Their 'HOF' line are world record setters when it comes to overclocking.
I disagree, their pricing is trash tho since you can get all the extra blings & features from asus, msi, etc. around the same price if not cheaper. It's still a solid card, so if it goes on some sick deal, u get on that shit like BBC
EVGA had theirs catch fire and overheat, doesnt make them junk tier or solid either. Only difference is EVGA has a reputation to hold for having gfg customer service and correcting their mistakes.

Yes it matters.
Not a huge amount but you should consider it when buying.
Some have back plates/oc better/run cooler/defaulty oc's/better pcb's etc.
Warranties vary by brand, as well as quality with some.
this is pretty much it
