I hate to offend all the amazing people who helped me put together the part list I have in my signature.

 

But now that we've formed the white and black themed build (I named it the Anti-Racism Build) I really want it to look fabulous.

 

The windforce 970 would look ok on the MSI Krait Edition motherboard. But is there a good WHITE or BLACK 970 that would go nicely on the MSI Z97S Krait Edition. I have had a look at the Galax HOF 970 but I don't think it's available in Australia.

I don't think an Asian person would fit in my S340. And I plan on going SLI in the future.

That's true. I would prefer it if the cards looked the same though.

There was that white and black msi 970 that msi showed earlier this year... Not sure where it is.

That's probably the Krait Edition of the 970 xD

Saw a rig recently on show your setup that used white NZXT water cooler brackets on their graphics cards. One of the cleanest rigs I've ever seen.

Did a bit of research on the white MSI GPU. As far as I can tell it wasn't released.

The only white card on the market ATM is the GTX 980 GALAX HOF which costs... a lot. You can always paint it.

The HOF 970 is available in Australia after all. Too expensive for my liking though. Can someone recommend some paint that won't make my GPU hotter?

Browsed my local shop's web and I found it. http://www.mynextcomonline.com/msi-gtx-970-4gd5t-oc/

It looks to be the repainted version of the 4gd5t or the "armour" version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127833

You could probably contact newegg and ask if they have the white version of the 4gd5t.

Yeap its legit but I have no idea what their support is like overseas. The site is nothing like newegg and its just a simple shop in Singapore. 

I actually wouldn't try if I'm from overseas, I'd imagine customer service and support would be a pain. As far as I know, the shop is only run by 1 nice guy 

and that's it...

:L That's true. I'm in Australia. They do ship to there, but I'd have to ask about how they package their items.

Actual Answer: HOF but overpriced

Best Answer: Get an EVGA and paint the shroud with plasti dip.

Ask about the colour of the 4gd5t too they may ship you the black version since its also in the picture

I may just go with the plasti dip EVGA windforce. Has a better clock anyway. Could someone link me to a website with plasti dip? I looked on the actual website and it is ridiculously overpriced.

This is what I was talking about earlier.

Basically It's a bracket that uses any AIO you might have lying around as a water cooler for you GPU.

Ahh I see, I could just get a crappy AIO and put it on. Would much prefer to get a painted EVGA or the MSI one.
