Hi

I am looking for a nice gpu to my new pc build. I have a red color theme and i want a nice 970 gpu in it to but cant find any good nice red 970s :(
i want a good GPU with good color under 500 dollar and red color + a back plate
what should i go for?

 

i have been thinking about a MSi 970 but i cant find a red or black backplate this is what i have: http://prntscr.com/73ol3t

Then msi is your only option, and you will most likely have to install an aftermarket backplate on your own
