Whoops I wanted to ask if anyone knew of one

There are many GTX 970's to choose from -

MSI GTX 970 Gaming

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming

EVGA (design flaw, do not consider as such over others)

Asus Strix GTX 970

If are you asking about ones under budget where do you buy parts from?

I have looked on PC Part Picker and there is a few 970s under 300GBP but they are all pre order so I was just wondering if anyone knew of any in stock.

It is either between the Gigabyte (which has great cooling and overclocking potential)
And the MSI which is one of the prettiest cards I have ever seen.

Take looks over the two since both the Gigabyte and MSI are pretty close performance wise.

Your going to have to wait if there still being shipped in, though it is worth it, even the wait.

Well the gigabyte apparently stays ridiculously cool and quiet and can overclock to around 1,500mhz while other ones only overclock to around 1,400mhz. Also with my case, you only see the top of the card so the Blue Windforce LED looks the best.

The GTX 970 stock cooled can give ridiculously good overclocks also, it depends more on the graphics card as not all have the same overclocking capability. I do agree that The Gigabyte logo in blue is quite something, especially in a windowed case. I can also agree that the Gigabyte is the best model, especially from Guru3D's review on it compared to the MSI and Asus. It stays the coolest and quietest compared to the Asus and MSI at the same temperature. Though MSI has a higher overclock then the Gigabyte, the gigabyte still outperforms at the same clock speed.

Can anyone help me decide?

 

[unknownofprob]

I'd still vote for the Gigabyte.

 

[carterdarter]

I would too. Thanks for the help anyway!

no problem, glad to have helped. It would be great to hear feedback when this card is in stock and arrives.
