Out of all the brands which is the best one to get? and also leave reasons why :)

I'm planning to have a dual SLI setup so I don't know if that changes anything power wise (850W).

Rig to be:
I5 4690k
Corsair TX850 V2 High Performance 850W Power Supply
ASUS Z97-A S1150 Intel Z97 DDR3 ATX
Corsair 8GB (2x4) DDR3
(GTX 970 SLI)

Thanks guys

gigabyte- if you intend to overclock, its got the highest clocks out of the box and its got the best cooler
MSI/Asus- if you dont intend to overclcok, both have the 0db technology where fans dont turn on unless the GPU reaches a threshold temp, hence no fan noise when doing regular computing or playing less graphically demanding games
these are the 3 best reviewed 970
doesnt make sense to go with other brands since there is nothing extraordinary about them
im running the MSI and it great!!

I have to disagree with you there. The EVGA cards have the best warranty our of the rest. That on it's self it's extraordinary Specially when you take the first generation of all the 970 brands suffered from coil whine. EVGA is encouraging all their costumers that bough defective cards to call in and they will replace it while the rest of the brands are giving their costumers a hard time. Yes i agree that best cooling solution is the Gigabite brand but as far as they Costumer Support is a joke.

I recommend the EVGA followed by MSI but I wouldn't touch a Gigabite cards because i don't trust their costumer support.
