Hi im goint to buy a new 970,and im decidint between Asus Strix,Msi Twin Frozer,Evga superclocked acx 2.0,Gigabyte WF(Not G1).

Ive seen that the msi one is the most balanced,but would like to hear from people that already has one of these models

Evga superclocked acx 2.0 out of those, most likely to have a good chip. Orther than that I would get G1.

If you're going to get a 970, the msi.

 

But, you should also consider a 390, it costs the same and out-performs the 970 while also giving you more than double the usable vram so it's never an issue.

I am considering it,the XFX 390.Right now i have a 600w psu with an R9 280X,is the 390 a lot more power hungry?

Not much more than a 280X. The extra powerdraw imo is well worth it, and your powersupply can more than cope with the 390. I'd say go for it.

The XFX is good, but i still prefer the sapphire nitro or powercolor pcs+, both have Top tier coolers and sick backplates :3

The  XFX is 345 euros,and the msi 970 is 349,Asus one is 342.I have looked the sapphire model and goes up to 379,not worth at all.

Aye, either the XFX or Asus will do just fine. I tend to stay a bit further away from XFX, i find their coolers are lacking. But, its certainly not a bad card in any way.

275W TDP. I plan on getting a PCS+ one

600 enough for 390,390 outperform 970,but i personally still choose 970
