Current build:
CPU: Intel i7-4790K
MOBO: ROG Maximus VII Hero
RAM: 8GB (2x4gb) Kingston HYPER x Beast 2400mhz (undervoltaged to 1.5v and underclocked to 1800mhz, stupid Haswall Refresh restrictions)

CASE: Corsair Carbide 540

Any help will be appreciated Thanks in advance everyone

GTX 970 wins hands down. Performance wise, they're pretty much on par with each other. The GTX 970 is much more power efficient, newer and it costs less.

No bottlenecks. No specific brand that is 'better' per se, just get whatever is in budget, in stock and has a good cooler.

As Sanctyy said the branding doesn't have a huge impact, work with your budget and find one with a cooling system that's right for you. I'm a big fan of the windforce of edition, but some prefer direct CU II cooling.

Here's what I personally like
