Which GTX 970 GPU

[ground_guru]

OK on another thread I am convinced to buy a GTX 970 GPU for a new build. I am getting my hardware from Newegg and now have my second problem. Which one?

As I look it appears the bulk of them are priced as low as $329 up to $369 or about 20 of them. In those 20 around 6 manufactures. Initially since my MB is Gigabyte buying a GB might make sense. Which of the manufactures make the better products.

  MSI
  PNY
  EVGA
  ASUS
  Zotac
  Gigabyte

I only have heard of Gigbyte and ASUS from that list. Sapphire is the only other one I know of but not on the list for GTX 970.

All of them are good brands. Zotac and Sapphire is part of the same company. Zotac is the Nvidia side, Sapphire is the AMD side.

Did not know that, that explains why there are no Sapphire offerings. THX.
