Need advice on GTX 970 buy

[HippeusOmega]

Looking to upgrade from a gtx 750 ti to a 970 to go with my i5 4690k. Question is can someone help me pick out the right 970? Also would my motherboard be compatible with it? I have a Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2H Motherboard. Now looking at the motherboard booklet. It says its a pci-express 2.0 but is compatible with pci-express 3.0. Also I do meet the PSU requirement as I recently upgraded to a evga supernova 750w bronze psu. I know some would've asked that based on my current gpu. Also should have space in my case despite my motherboard size.

Any help I'd appreciate guys.

Edit: I have a fan on the front of the PC case as well. Looks to be a coolmaster case.

Yes and yes.

A 970 is around twice the length, so take measurements to be sure it will fit into your chassis.

Edit: since you want one to be picked for you / suggested:

Still, make sure the ~12 inch length will fit.

Okay thanks. Joined PC gaming this past summer so I'm still new to all this and wanted to make sure on hardware. Little concerned about airflow. But I have 2 fans with one at the back and front of the case. My friend that also works with computers that helped me install the PSU said I could get another fan for the top of the case if I run into heat issues.

Decently sized chassis, in- & outtake fan, you shouldn't run into troubles there atm.

I'm more wondering why you keep that noisy Intel stock cooler. :P

Never really noticed any noise from it. Something I'll change in the future. Cause I do plan on eventally upgrading motherboard and processor sometime in the next year.
