MSI or Asus GeForce GTX 970?

I'm building my own PC to mainly play CSGO & Minecraft although I will play BF3/BF4 sometimes.

 

Should I get the MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB or the Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB?

 

Thanks.

Unless you're getting a killer deal on that 970 don't buy it, grab yourself an RX 480 or 1060 like others are saying.

Depends. More doesn't mean better. Who actually uses DSR? I have like 3 times, and I doubt very many people do. Who uses the RGB lighting on some reference Nvidia GPUs?

And more features? What evidence do you have for that?

 

I'm not an AMD fanboy, I have never even bought an AMD CPU or GPU. But I do consider my options, and my 2 Nvidia GPUs have been at incredible prices that AMDs products could never hope to match.
