1070 MSI Gaming X or EVGA SC?

Question

I am leaning more towards EVGA but price wise the MSI is more appealing. Help me decide!

I will be coming from a GT 650M, very excited!

I am also open for other suggestions, so please add if you have any.

MSI has average support, and in my opinion one of the best coolers. If you ask me, go for the MSI card.

MSI has a better cooler, Evga may have a better support. I'd take MSI especially when it's cheaper.

This is a good review, the Gaming X is just ahead in most benchmarks. Personally I would go EVGA based on looks, black + white fits into builds better then red, unless you have a red build. I would mostly base it on that.

Why on earth would you make a card red and add a RGB LED that can be any color? Doesn't that defeat the point? Looking at you too Zotac with your bright yellow back plate.

Yeah I find it silly, you can only really use white/red LEDs everything else looks silly. The Zotac card is the worse, I think someone else had a blue + white card.

I think the Palit card was blue/white, which actually matches the color scheme I'm going for, but I'm American and Palit doesn't sell here (plus I want to SLI and that card is like 3 slots big)

Thats a shame. I've always wanted to spray paint some parts of my build too match colour schemes since most things are red/blue and I've always wanted something different. However I don't have the balls or the skill needed.

Loved my MSI 760 and my new 1070 X is running great so far.
