I am currently on pcpartpicker picking a graphics card for my build. I am wondering which one I should get. Sound reduction would/maybe be nice, but at the sacrifice of performance not so much. I have been reading a lot of good things for the MSI but I am still not completely sure it is very good. I am going to be playing games like BF4 and The Witcher 3, Skyrim etc. Well, I want a card that will run very well that I won't have to OC all the time just to get really good performance to beat out another card. I will also be using a 1080p 144hz monitor(Probably Benq). On pcpartpicker it says the Clock speed of the G1 is 1.18hz and the MSI is 1.14hz. Or is there some other card that is better?(Not a 980 I know they are better xD). Or even is there a better version of the MSI?

I have read some other threads on this site and people say that the MSI achieves a 1500mhz clock and the G1 ony 1400mhz. And also that the G1's fans are cheap and the cooling is better on the MSI. I just can't decide especcially because of that comparison on OC.net saying the G1 is better..
