[APatientGuy]

Which brand makes the best overclockable gtx 970? I've been eyeing the evga but not sure if that's the best. Thanks.

before we even get started do you need x99? its just a hell of a waste and unless you can justify wasting your money on it just go z97

I guess not. DDR4 doesn't make much of a difference right?

Is this good?

In this order. Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 -> MSI Gaming Twin Frozr V GTX 970 -> Asus Strix GTX 970 -> EVGA ACX GTX 970.
EVGA put their smallest ACX cooler on the 970 making it the hottest and loudest 970 of the bunch.

It is better but get Crucial MX100 SSD instead and also that Fractal case does not support 5.25" bay .. therefore you cant put DVD burner in it.

Well I have an external cd drive laying around so I don't need that.

Wow, thanks! I guess I'll go with the msi twin frozr then. (I personally don't like gigabyte much, don't know why)
