Hi guys I've got £285 in the bank and have just sent the Gigabyte G1 Gaming back because of an issue (which I'm now certain wasnt an issue with my card).

So now I'm considering which card to get. My theme is blue and if there's any other recommendations for a 970 which looks good and overclocks nicely please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

It has been said, but I will say it again - go EVGA, their support is awesome and I myself have two 970 SSC :)

Their support is NOT THAT awesome >:| I contacted them last night, and got a reply tonight, regarding their step-up program. "Our window is 90-days. Unfortunately your card does not qualify. If you have any more question, feel free to contact us at..." 

 

Damn it.
