Deciding which gtx970 based on my location.

[Vapour_Trail]

Hi guys. I've been doing a lot of thinking about my gpu. Prices seem really different outside of Japan (which is where I live). So essentially I thought I'd just ask here and link to the Japanese site with the prices I'm using. All the product names are in English and the prices clearly visible, though. If I were to Americanize the prices (even though I'm not American ), the cheapest one at about 40,000 yen is roughly $350, where as the most expensive one, at about 50,000 yen (the Asus card) would be something like $430. Which do you think I should go for? Thanks for any help guys, I'm doing my first build and I'm sure you get questions likes this all the time, but the market seems really different, here in Japan. Thanks for any help, it's very much appreciated.

Msi's 970 are the best. Just put it in OC mode and voila . And it's the most silent .

I would go EVGA or ASUS, more EVGA.

The ones available are the ones in the link. EVGAs are pretty much non existant in Japan, and ASUS are the most expensive.

MSI 4G, Gigabyte Windforce OC, and Asus Strix would be my first choices, then I'd go for the cheapest of those 3.

The Asus 970 for 50k Yen is the one that comes bundled with Metal Gear Solid. The one without the game costs 45k Yen, which is what i would go for.

Thanks for all the help so far. I've been looking up reviews in English and Japanese (since they're the only two languages I can understand), and while I could only find 4 for the Galax gtx970 exoc, they were all very positive in terms of performance, noise, build quality, and especially temperature. Since I never hear this card talked about, does anybody have any reasons I shouldn't go for this card?
