So many GTX 970s!! Which to choose from?

[HowieIsBoss]

When I look for my future graphics card (GTX 970) there are like 4 or 5 of the GTX 970 but different brands. I want to know which one would be best for and i7-4790k and Asus Z97-AR motherboard. All responses are greatly appreciated! Thanks again

It doesn't really matter in my mind as most of them are good. I like the design of the MSI Gaming and the EVGA ones.

My first choice is the Gigabyte G1. The Asus STRIX and MSI Gaming are my next choices.

Zotac is my personall favorate, performance wise all of the non-oc cards will perform the same and even a baseline card can be ramped up to the same clocks as most oc cards. when you choose between baseline cards you are looking at 3 things, price, noise, and temps. Zotac is usually exelantly priced, whisper quiet, and slightly below average temps. the only thing is, the cds hardly ever work, but that doesn't really matter.
