I'm looking to buy GTX 1070. But I saw in my country, GTX 1070 Founders Edition is 100$ cheaper than MSI Gaming X 1070. And my budget cant afford 100$ more for MSI Gaming X 1070.
Should I buy GTX 1070 Founders Edition (500$) or get money for MSI Gamin X 1070 (600$).
Is there a big difference between FE and custom cards?

What do you guys think?
 
Solution
I would not buy the Founders Edition over the MSI card, but I would also not be willing to pay $100 more for the MSI card. Maybe wait a bit for the price to come down.


Don't buy reference cards. Save up the extra $100 you need.
 


Only difference is in the cooling and the "out-of-the-box" clock speeds, an aftermarket cooler will perform a little better. I have a 1070 FE and it is just fine. I saved the $100. You will be happy with an FE.
