What brand have you bought from before? Did you have issues with them? If not, buy from that brand.

 

If you actually want my opinion, pick one of EVGA's. They have excellent customer service and are flexible about their warranty.

Yeah I don't understand their IO logic (and other design choices) sometimes.

 

You should stick with MSI if you've had no issues with them yet.

I'd honestly go with the EVGA Classified or the Gigabyte G1 Gaming.  Both are amazing.

Not giving the gtx 980 triple display port and making the ability to have the backplate expensive

Classified.

@DildorTheDecent

Yep. Except mines the K|NGP|N variant.

My 980 Classified K|NGP|N has triple DP :) Some cards have them and some don't. 

 

Get the Classified. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

I'd personally go for the twin frozr, had no problems with MSI before and quite happy with the TF3 i'm using now!

Oh. That doesn't mean they're a bad brand, mate. Lol.

 

And the backplate is just $20.

Neither in my opinion, an R9 295x2 would be a much better choice. If it's above your budget 2 R9 290Xs will be just as good for cheaper than a single 980. 980s are not a good choice at the moment due to the absurdly high price. If you want to stick with nvidia get 2 970s but they'll be more expensive.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
