Gigabyte also has a good offering with their G1 Gaming version. Check them out.

Both are great cards, but the MSI performs better and is slightly cooler and quieter. The ASUS looks better though.

By the way will a gigabyte gtx 970 fit in my case? (TrendSonic FC-P004A Poseidon)

Lots of people are having issues with MSI cards such as bad coil whine and fan issues. Including myself. So I'd go Gigabyte or ASUS for now.

Been trying to find out the GPU clearance on your case but every website I found is in Russian(I think) so I can't help you there unless you can tell me the GPU clearance yourself.

Nah,not gonna happen.I only have 16,5 cm clearance while the card needs like 19.Fuck.What about the other ones (msi,asus) how wide are they? Where can i check?

Yeah,i saw both the asus and the msi versions say that are somewhere around 14 cm.Guess i'll take the msi one,because some reviews said that it's less noisier and is a little bit colder than the asus one.

It's bearable, just very high pitched and offputting, you wouldn't be able to hear it with headphones on though :) 
And, theres a good chance you wouldn't get a defective one anyway.
