I trust asus. Never had a problem with any of their products.

The DCUII cooler is very quiet and keeps the card cool too even when overclocked.

Msi is smaller and quieter but uses reference board. Asus is larger and bulkier but has beefed up VRM.

Which one should i get?

The DCUII cooler is not good on AMD cards. At least for the R9 290, they just took the DCUII cooler of the 780 and put it there so all the connections are not made and it's not cooling effectively.

it will be close if either one is cheaper go for it

 

I think the MSI is a bit cheaper than Asus

 

I have builds using MSI products and they perform as good as the pricey Asus

 

my MSI board is still going strong after so many years

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
