Hi everyone! I am looking to buy a 970 for my first gaming computer!!

I live in Canada

and I am wondering if there are any sales or places that I can get the 970 for the best value?

also which 970 would you recommend? I am using a phantom 410 case!

Cheers!

Out of those two, I'd totally go with the G1 (and I did.) But your case needs to support its massive length.

I was looking at the STRIX and the MSI Gaming 970, and I have my heart set on the MSI cos it looks epic and is marginally better whilst costing less. People will disagree and say the STRIX is better, but I don't think it is :P Mainly because of the nice looks (will look epic with my ROG motherboard), zero fan RPM (like the strix, just not marketed as a selling point) and slightly better clock speeds and OC capability. Don't get me wrong though, the STRIX is a beautiful card to have :)
