Which Brand?

I would personally recommend EVGA because of their warranty and customer service history. For cooler recommendations, I'm quite fond of Gigabyte's Windforce, but EVGA's ACX 2.0 is quite good as well.

 

Honestly I'd go for EVGA, some people prefer ASUS, but I've had bad experiences in the past with them so I can't recommend them.

 

Good luck! I hope you enjoy whichever brand you purchase!

EVGA or Gigabyte are always safe...

EVGA is great on that end.

K! Thanks this is my first build btw :P

Just cause I want to know, why exactly do you want a reference card?

I am getting a gtx 980 ti but I just don't know which brand I should get it from!

Go for EVGA because it is known as to have THE best customer support right now.  Currently, I'd suggest waiting for a non-reference GPU though.  (unless you want it, then go for it)

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

Asus because they usually have back-plates and their customer service is pretty good from what I've heard.  Though on Twitter, MSI seems more interactive.

Honestly if the MSI X99 Krait Edition Mobo and Asus X99 Pro/Deluxe made into one would be one pretty awesome looking mobo.

Pretty much all of the big 4 are good (MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, EVGA).

 

Although didn't you just pick up a GTX970 according to your other thread...?

I don't usually follow particular brands. I just go for the highest performance I can for the least money (because I'm a cheapskate) and it sometimes runs me into the same brand, but brand loyalty is ill-advised. Grab whatever you think fits your budget and build style, because even reference Nvidia cards are quite good, unlike AMD's reference cards.
