The MSI will in general overclock like 1% higher, but the G1 Gaming from Gigabyte is your best bet if you want high overclocks.

The Strix runs completely quiet at all times. I have the MSI 970, and i've never heard the fans of it. 

In the end, choosing between the different 970's i would pick the one fitting your color scheme.

When in doubt: C4

The color differs more from the other 970 models too.

 

If you're buying right now i would go for color.

If you're in the planning, waiting for a small sale would also be viable. Whatever comes on sale first wins.
