I prefer Afterburner, personally, but they'll both do it.

download both and see which one you like more. I use MSi since I have an MSi, nice feature set though (fan control, voltage control, temp and framerate monitor, video capture, screenshots, and OC)

I have a Gigabyte gtx 670 Windforce 3x, almost the same card and Afterburner works well. But as I said both will work, it's just personal preference.
Edit: the custom fan management in Afterburner is also a great feature to have, and I don't think evga has anything similar.

Precision X is tailored for nVidia cards and works wonderfully. Just use precisionX, Afterburner has had it's time, which has now passed.

I prefer MSI Afterburner, the built in video/screen capture puts it above the rest in my opinion.
