I want to buy a new GPU and my choice is the 970, but after tons of researching I still don't really know which one to use.

First I wanted the msi one, but the Asus strix also has some good things to it. Evga acx 2.0 isn't bad either.

So I would like to know what do you think is the best gtx 970 for around 350 percent euro?

(It shouldn't be too big, like the gigabyte one)

Thank you for answering.

You seem to be very indecisive. List the ones that you're leaning towards.

Like I Said first msi, then a little asus and evga and now I am pretty unsure which one at all.

After what I understand, I Think that msi offers the best software (msi afterburn), the asus is the quietest (fanless until 65 degrees) and it probably has the best build quality, evga has the highest base clock.

If your going to have a smaller case, why not the new Gigabyte Mini ITX GTX 970?

 

 

I will be getting one of these for my next upgrade since I have a small PC case.

AND I only have a GTX 750 Ti

Also because I work with Blender, a 3D creation software, similar Autodesk for example, and rendering later scenes with my 750 Ti takes FOREVER, and it sometimes crashes OpenGL

Asus M5A97 R2.0

RAM: G.Skill Ares 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133 GPU:
