Hey!
In about 3 weeks time I will be purchasing a GTX 970 as an upgrade to my EVGA GTX 760 SC. I am currently tied between these two cards. I don't believe I will be overclocking my 970 as I've never overclocked before and I'm not even sure if I can over clock with my current motherboard. If you can overclock either of these cards on any motherboard could someone please tell me?

So what I want to know is, which is the better card in terms of,
Performance
Quality
Cooling
Noise

If you recommend any other manufacturer please give your reasons why, also I can not fit the Gigabyte version of this card in my case.
Thank you guys!!!

You motherboard does not matter when you overclock a graphics card, since the GPU has its seperate power delivery system. To fully utilize all your graphics card, I would recommend overclocking, but its up to you. Both EVGA and MSI are great companies, but I think the MSI is more quiet.
