Wich GTX 980 to choose!??!

[feafa]

So i can choose

-Strix
-G1 Gaming
-MSI TwiinFrozer
-MSI (reference model)

So if i pick the reference model, i can put a i7 4790K in my build too (budget), but if i pick any other i need to pick i5 4690K

-MSI (reference model) seems good, i'm worried about temps and noise!

the Strix is amazing and preforms great in gaming

Can't afford I7 4790K and Strix BROOOOOO

 

[Coolboy951]

you dont need an i7 for gaming an i5 4690k is amazing

the Strix is amazing and preforms great in gaming

I have the strix and i can agree. Good temperatures, low noise, high overclocking potencial (above the out-of-box oc that it already comes with).

However, could you tell me your opinion on running the card (Strix) in 2 or even 3-way-Sli?
Since it's a non-reference cooler, I'm worried that having 2 or even 3 of these cars will heat up my case too much.

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 G1 is better in my opinion, as it has one of the best cooling systems and performance for a GTX 970. It has great overclocking potential too.
