Both MSI and EVGA GTX 970 are good but personally i would go with MSI one

System with GTX 970 needs good 500w+ PSU so get one from Tier 1 or 2

[Thewhitepanther]

would the msi fit ni my case

 

[Thewhitepanther]

and would the gpu be good with the cpu i.e no bottlenecking

 

[turbopiki]

Yes it will fit, the CPU you got is a good one so no bottlenecks

Case : http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/k350-rc-k350-kwn2-en/
VGA card length: 315mm
MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr - 269mm will fit your case.

No bottlenecking, this will be really good and well balanced combination.

Any XFX, SeaSonic, Antec HCG, EVGA GS,G2,B2 unit will fit your needs.

[Xemko]

No, it's noot a good PSU, it is more expensive also. It is tier 3 unit, use some low quality capacitors. While XFX, Seasonic are tier 1/tier 2 units, with high quality Japanese capacitors.

[Thewhitepanther]

So the xfx one be better

 

[Xemko]

Definitely, XFX better.

 

[Thewhitepanther]

what about this one http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650bbefx

Great option, actually the best from all other options that were mentioned here. Tier 1 unit, fully modular.

 

[turbopiki]

XTR is a great PSU its Tier 1 so one of the best PSUs on the market, it made by one of the two PSU manufacturer powerhouses Seasonic. the other one is SuperFlower

 

[Thewhitepanther]

thinking im going to get this http://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-evga-supernova-gs-psu-fully-modular-80-plus-gold-45a-single-rail-sli-crossfirex-support-whisper
thanks for all your help will it be a ok wattage

 

[Xemko]

Great choice, as well. 550w will be more than enough.

 

[turbopiki]

Yes 550w is enough for this system even if xou OC. this PSU is also very good choice
