AMD's '980 killer' will probably require a 3000w psu and have an air conditioner mounted on it
and be $200 more expensive
AMD shines at the $150-250 mark.. Nvidia dominates the $300+ mark
Man this 670 GTX did me so well its got me fukked up if I should get a 970 GTX or 980 GTX now
probably wont get it til holiday season though
I just have a lot of monitors, but nothing too fancy. I got a dell as the main monitor and 2 LGs for the left and the right. I also have a 1440p Auria, that I got for $400 at Micro Center. I got a dell touch screen on an old rig too.
If I was you, I'd get one of those 1440p gsyncs like @2gunsup has. Or I'd go 4k.
My next monitor will be 4k. I'm just waiting for better panels at a reasonable price.
980 just arrived at the office.
Gonna install it once I get home. If Watchdogs still stutters, I'm done buying Ubisoft games on PC.
I'm curious about watch dogs. Will that extra gb help?

Two questions brehs:
Two questions brehs:
- How good is this deal, adding a 970 and an SSD it would come out to around $1200
- Does this come already built and in case or do they just send the parts?

I'm betting on an aggressively clocked 290x with better cooling. They'll prob call it the 295x or some shyt. Doubt they'll touch on power consumption.

970/980 is 2x the performance of your 670 and maybe then some. If I only had near a 980 budget to spend I'd go with 2x 970's instead. A bit more than a 980 but it'll stomp it out something fierce.
No Micro Center near you?
I think AMD will go the liquid cooled route like they did the 295x2

That'll be a problem if you wanna crossfire though
What I look like having 3 radiators in my case

I'm VERY curious about your watch dogs performance.
So after a couple days of testing(swapping monitors, tossing into other rigs, PSU, cables, cleaning, etc.), I've concluded my GPU is fukking up. Been getting screen flickering every once in a while during CSGO and BF4, and today I was getting artifacts.
Gonna see what I can do about it, think I may have been a lil too careless while doing my maintenance last week. The 270x been good to a nikka
Might just be the man above telling me to see what's good with that 970 though

I worded that wrong. Im getting the 970gtx or 980gtx no matter what... but because the 670gtx was such a great card it has me contemplating going 970 over 980 when before I always told my self i was getting the 980
it's not bad for $600, but I would prefer to ditch the liquid cooling and get a better psu. I'm not really sure about that case, but it looks decent I guess. and btw that package doesn't include windows
I'm pretty sure they just send you all the parts with that package, and you'll have to put it together yourself
How is it breh?
