Hello, in my county (Indonesia) a Palit GTX 970 is priced about $350 is the cheapest among all (Asus STRIX, MSI, and Gigabyte).
Palit is the one of the highest overclocked, but the temp more hot ~80c degrees, almost 20c different with the Gigabyte G1 with 60-64c degrees when underload.

The Asus STRIX, MSI, Gigabyte G1 priced about $445, $450, and $472. Those 3 are the greatest I think.

Well, which should I buy ?

I have two MSI GTX970 in SLi running a triple screen setup and they often run at below 60C. They and the Gigabyte cards also have the most highly rated performance of different GTX970s.

I would give my vote to the MSI cards. I've not had a single issue with them, and they are pretty much silent - I'm sure if you really push them they'll make some noise, but so far I've not heard anything from them.

Well, is the Asus STRIX worth the price ? It just only $30 different to the Gigabyte G1. The Gigabyte G1 is the coolest among them.. And when overclocking it, it's still better the G1, I think.

I would say Gigabyte is the best one for overclocking, and that's why I would pick that, it can get to 980's stock clock and still be at 60-70C which is very good imo.

That will be due to it's much large cooler. If you want to overclock and you have space in your case for it, so long as you don't intend to fit an aftermarket cooler to the GPU then the Gigabyte would be the best choice.
If case space is limited, you don't tend to overclock, or have an aftermarket cooler you're going to attach then you're better off going for a stock card or a factory overclocked - they're better priced than the Gigabyte.
