I have troubles choosing the GPU which onde should i get? The MSI 970 por the EVGA 970?

I've heard that the MSI i good but has some issues (but the reviwe i've seen is 3 months old) , and the EVGA has or had a loud noise problem but an awsome customer support and that is what devids me, should i get the MSI although the issues or the EVGA although the noise issue? And im asking about these 2 is because they are the most common i've seen in most builds

Gigabyte G1 is another option, If your case can support a 12.2 inch card then you can have a card that is binned(sorted for higher overclockability) has the beefiest cooler, and comes with a good overclock right out of the box. Also ASUS is another good brand to look at.

MSI, what does customer support by EVGA is going to make your GPU fans any quieter?

Depends what's more important to you. Quieter operation or better customer support.

@dioogao: What resolution are you playing at? I have one an play at 1440p but am in the process of returning it. Due to the whole 3.5gb bullshit. For 1080p though, get the Gigabyte G1 Gaming edition.

If your looking at the MSI Gaming version with the TwinFrozer coolers, these are pretty good cards. Running the MSI 780ti Gaming in a tiny rig with not much airflow, hasn't missed a beat once.

MSI good all around, Asus Strix silent, or GB G1 for overclocking.

I think the EVGA cooler for the 970 is a 780 cooler which doesn't work very well.
