The only reason I picked EVGA is because the MSI card is red.

MSI, EVGA and Gigabyte are all good card makers (not sure about Zotac) so there's no mistake in choosing one of the other.

Just pick the one you think looks the nicest.

I'm talking performance and OCing. If I got the EVGA card, I plan to paint half of it red like MSI's design.

I don't like them.

O.o

Why don't you like them? Just curious because besides kingpin models I haven't heard of any EVGA models being very good for overclocking. MSI, Asus, Zotac or Gigabyte are probably better options.

First build every: Intel Core i7 4790K, Asus Z97-A/USB 3.1 motherboard, Kingston HyperX FURY 1866 2x8 16GB Kit, Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 G1 Gaming, Corsair Obsidian 450D Black ATX Mid Tower, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB & 3TB Toshiba HDD, EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2, Corsair H100i GTX 240mm, Gigabyte Bluetooth 4.0/Wifi Card, Logitech G700S. Running on Windows 10

Surface Pro 3: i5 4300U with 8GB of ram and 256GB SSD. Running Windows 10 Pro
