Which ones would you recommend? The MSI looks nice and would go with my color scheme. However how good/ reliable is MSI? This is my first build, so I am wanting to get a reliable branded card.
I would go Asus, but I would prefer a non reference cooler (Would it matter)? Would the Gigabyte (Windforce) be the best since it's clocked the highest and has the most fans? Or should I just wait and plan to get the 980 ti (price dependent)?
Here's my build, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hqVRnQ (please let me know if you recommend any other changes)

EVGA or ASUS but they won't be available for a while.

I'd go the Asus either the CU model or the upcoming Strix model

Your link isn't working. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome but won't open.
Also, I won't be getting the card for a while, as soon as I get a job I will start ordering parts. Just figured I'd go ahead plan my build.
EDIT: The link is working now.
That card is really sick looking, goes well with my color scheme. I think I'll wait for that one, unless the 980 ti comes out, and is reasonably priced

That's the one I'm looking to get, though depending, might just get the CU model, they both use the same CU cooling design but the Strix has a different fan set

Thanks for the help I appreciate it. I didn't even hear about those Asus cards, I was going off the ones on PC parts picker.

Should be out shortly, the 970 CU is already out (in fact NewEgg already sold out :)
