970 questions

[XDroidie626]

Okay so I have finally decided on the 970 for my next GPU, but I have a few questions about this.

 

1- SLI

Okay so I have a i5 2500 3.3 Ghz (Non K edition) and I may get two 970s, will this bottleneck the GPUs at all? if its minor I do not mind to much, but I expect it wont, also I have a OCZ 750w Bronze PSU, will this have enough power to safely power the GPUs, with a bit of overhead, I always like to have overhead.

 

2 - Which one?

Okay so I am undecided between the MSI, G1 and the Strix, now I like the look of strix, but if there is no added benefit compared with them, looks to me do not warrant a price bump, I was also looking at the ITX version, ideas on that?

I may overclock using GPU boost, if not ill attempt an OC similar to 980, ill turn off when I get SLI.

I also want a quiet card, not too loud under load if possible and decent cooling.

 

Thanks!

1. No, there will not be a significant bottleneck. Also that PSU should be good

2. They are all decent, just get the cheapest on or the one you think looks the best

1. It probably won't bottleneck should be ok

 

2. get the cheapest GTX 970 but if you want performance over price go for the Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 it overclocks like a beast
