Hello everyone!

I was planning on upgrading to a GTX970.

I have a few questions -

1. I like the MSI Gaming edition but am not sure how good MSI's RMA process is in India. Can anyone comment on this?

2. If not the MSI, which board partner should I go with? Zotac's vanilla GTX970 throttles under load and has terrible coil whine for some users, so not really considering that.

3. Is it worth upgrading to a GTX970 from a 7970 GHz edition? I only have a 1080p monitor on which I play games.

The rest of my config is the one found on my signature below.

Please suggest

I can vouch for MSI :3 They replaced by 6850 after 2 years with a spanking new 7850 :3
