So, I've decided on the gtx 970 video card. Problem is they've sold out except for the ones that have been priced way higher than they usually would be. So that gives me time to try to make an educated decision on which 970 card is the best one at the best value. I want to overclock it. So I've come down to these three. Hopefull you guys can educate me further and help me decide, or persuade me to a different 970 card. These are the ones I'm trying to decide on.

Thanks guys as usual for the help.
Edit: Hmm starting to think the evga gaming g1 might not fit my case http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbid...s=consiar+200r
Specs for card are listed as 19.9 x 22 x 10.6 inches ; 12.4 pounds
Does anyone have any opinion on this one. I have a hard time believing it's as powerful

People are saying it's one of the best over clockers, runs quiet, and is cooler. Mods can close this thread if they need to.
