Get the Gigabyte 970. 

 

If you look at their Instagram NCIX is being hammered with demand for 970s, likely why the price is higher then Newegg

Im honestly a overclocking noob which is why the MSI as appealing with just a click to OC. I am going to do a full rebuild around Xmas but this was to tide me over for a bit since my 570 is showing its age.

You don't have to OC if you don't want to. It's also not that hard if you do want to, turn power limit up all the way and see how high you can get on the core.

just seems like people at getting the Gigabyte G1 since it seems to OC better due to picked chips Strix has the silent fan. Anyone have experience with it? does it pretty alwasy kick in if your gaming?
