GTX 970 VERSION

I am going to buy a gtx 970, probably the gigabyte g1 gaming, still i would like to know yout thoughts!

there are 2 things im afraid of:

1- coil whining ive seen this problem like in so many threads, that im afraid to buy a gtx 970...

2- my chieftech modular PSU with 650W, I use a 4 pin connection on my current gpu wich is a amd radeon hd 6850, ive heard that the gtx 970 uses a 1- 6 pi connection and 1 8 pin connection..

what you guys think ?

Doesn't matter in my opinion. I haven't heard coil whining in a long time and you can always buy an adapter if your PSU doesn't have a spare 6-8 PIN connector.

Matters on what version asus strix one uses only 1 8 pin for example

That spec sheet says it has a 6+2 and 8 pin PCIe connectors so you should be fine, unless you're already using them for something else?

IMO, all the aftermarket 970s are good, even the EVGA which has caught alot of flak for it's cooling solution. Really, it just comes down to what you want. Personally, I'm a fan of function so I opted for the G1 970 as I read you could clock it the highest and I'm very happy with it. Some feel the cooler looks a bit crazy but I like the beefy look. The MSI and Strix cards are also top notch and I hear the Zotac cards are beast overclockers as well. So really, it's whichever card you want.
