I'm putting together my first PC build and was wondering which version of the gtx 970 to get? I'm either going to get the Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 Strix Graphics Card (4GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0) or the EVGA Nvidia GTX 970 SSC ACX Cooling 2.0 4 GB Graphics Card, price isn't a problem as there's only a €3 difference. Obviously if there is a better version of the Gtx 970 please inform me! :) Thanks!

Short list of the differences I see between them.

 

EVGA has very discrete and clean aesthetics, evga's excellent rma customer support and a nice factory overclock

Strix has a more aggressive but stil clean shroud and fan design and has the factory 0 db fan mode(fans turn off when card is cool enough)

Gigabyte G1 Gaming has the most aggressive design but the best cooling and performance in most regards(silicon lottery still applies)

 

in short, you can't go wrong with any of them, they'll all perform very similar, take the one that appeals to your taste and build best.
