Thanks for the advice. What do you mean by "follow your thread"?

Hello all, I am currently in the process of building my first gaming PC. I am having trouble trying to determine which brand delivers the best GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. After browsing the web for a while, I learned that the main brands are MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA, and ASUS. Which is the best? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for letting me know. Also, do you think a Seagate HDD is more reliable than a WD? In your opinion, do think the ASRock Z97 Extreme 3 is a better motherboard than the Asus Z97-A?

Thanks so much!!!

I plan on using the PC mainly for gaming but also with school work. My budget is around $1000. Thanks for the advice with the Kingston drive. I will switch it out with the Samsung 840 EVO.
