My build is based both on aesthetics and performance weighing a little more to the aesthetics side. It is a red and black build but the color on the EVGA card can be changed with a sticker so it is now a big deal. I just want some opinions before I make a choice, and thanks for the help beforehand.

I'd say Strix; the card runs super quiet & cool, and I think it looks the best

My dilemma is that the EVGA has the best performance while the MSI and ASUS both look amazing. Out of the two Asus wins.

EVGA has my vote, if you ever watercool it in the future you wont have to worry about the aesthetic and you'll have a slightly more powerful card. TBH the differences in performance between the cards is so minimal that whichever you feel is most aesthetically pleasing you should probably go with.

I always go with EVGA buying a new card

I was never a fan of their cards aesthetically.

It's definitely the best performing and best overclocking 970 though.
