I posted this already, like almost a month ago, and I didn't get any replies.
I was wondering if I could buy other brand of GPUs, or does it have to be Gigabyte and EVGA.
EVGA is not available at all in my country and Gigabyte 750 is $20 more than MSI 750.
I'd rather get the MSI 1 and save a few bucks, if I can.
Can I do that? Does it matter much? I don't think they'll allow me to return it if I can't get Yosemite installed correctly...

Depending where you are you could use Gainward, Pallit, MSI, Power Color, Sapphire, Asus, Zotac, PNY, XFX or other local brand. You have to compare the local brand with the "reference" design from AMD or nVidia that they give to the 3rd party PGU manufacturers. Some will build strictly per reference design, some will add their own cooling solution, some will actually change the PCB design. Stay away from those last ones - the card might not work properly in OS X.
 
I don't really know what all that means, but here is the card that I wanted to buy.

It would cost me $25 less than the Gigabyte GPU with 2GB of vRAM.

Also, here is the 2GB MSI model (I'd rather buy this 1).

It's $20 less than Gigabyte 2GB model.

This 1 is also an option, it's also $20 less than Gigabyte 2GB model, but it's 1GB.
