EVGA - MSI Compatibility

[PugnaQ]

So I want to build a gaming pc but i have doubts like, i have seen evga geforce gtx 970, msi gtx 970, gygabite geforce gtx 970 and stuff. Lets say im buying a msi motherboard that is compatible with gtx 970, it should be able to work with any of them or just msi's gtx 970? Btw wich one is the best? Gygabite, MSI or EVGA? Another doubt I have, first of all i should choose the motherboard then a compatible processor and then the graphic card? I have seen in Msi's website that their motherboard is compatible with lets say gtx 970 but it says vendor: MSI so it has to be from MSI the gtx 970?

No.Any manufacture of GTX 970 would work with the MSI motherboard. It doesnt matter if it is Gigabyte or EVGA,if it is compatible,it will work.It just matter of preferences. Just whichever you think good for you.Some people bought EVGA because of good customer service while others because of good software.Though,the performance does not differ much and barely noticeable.

For processor, if you bought motherboard that can only fits intel cpu,you cannot put AMD cpu there and vise versa. So think thoroughly before you buy motherboard so that you can plan for future processor upgrade.Intel CPU seems to have good future based on single chip performance but AMD is good for Overclocking
