Should I get the card with an open shrowd cooler like the msi twin forzr 3 or closed coolers like the evga gtx 570? which one would keep temps down on my case with only two fans? Considering a 660ti.... Any help is appreciated.

first thing you need to consider if you have moderate to poor airflow is non refence coolers like the twin frozer, gigabyte windforce etc can/do exhaust into the case itself and not out the back. If you have non adequate airflow as mentioned this can/will/does drive up the temps of your other components. If you fall into the above, then I suggest a reference cooler which exhausts all the heat out the rear.
