Best GTX 970

Gigabyte is good but i heard some people having fan issues + bleu LED is not good my build is black and red
MSI is good too but the no backplate is a big turn off + White LED is OK
The ASUS one looks decent
EVGA = Not gonna happen

MSI has a great cooler and it matches your build and you can just add a backplate. i am talking about the twin frozr one

I'll vouch for the Zotac Extreme if you want to spend a little extra

I love the MSI gaming 5 i dont really have any bad to say about after owning in a month. i personally think it looks amazing the logo has a shiny chrome part that looks amazing. the sound card can handle 7.1 and 8.0 sound and it has a cool led. it is also saying the temp of the cpu on a very small screen. and around the edges of the mobo tray it lights up red. the Bios is super simple. here is a link of my build so you can see the Pictures and whatnot https://pcpartpicker.com/b/hTVYcf
