Hello! I am building a gaming PC and some people said to go with this 970, http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-04gp40974k..., while others said other cards, any ideas?
Thanks!

I know some of the ACX 970s have an issue with the fans being really loud. Personally, I'd try to find a Strix 970 or a TwinFrozr 970, but EVGA is generally regarded as a top-tier partner.

I'd go with the MSI, Asus or gigabyte cards. The EVGA's are having heatsink issues.

Yeah unfortunately until EVGA sorts that out I would be wary of them. That being said I like the idea of the fans being off when idling on the Strix.

Really any of them would be fine as long as you go with the stock coolers. There is no clear benefit to any particular model.
