Hi there

Only £179.99 inc VAT.

ORDER NOW












Be quick, this deal ends midday Wednesday! :eek:
 
Noticed the MSI is the same price now as this deal.Tempting but some may consider it a bad move with a 1440 144h FreeSync monitor but it is £180 and might be good for a year or so.
 
I own this exact GTX 970 - Highly recommended :) Absolutely silent unless under load, and even then it's very quiet!
 
What's the power draw like on these compared to a 6GB 1060? I'm on a 450W OEM PSU and I'm not budgeting to replace it (it runs fine with my current 6870) but I assume the 1060 is significantly more efficient?

A 970 can pull about 30 watts or so more than a 6870 under load (but a lot less when idling) so I would not chance it. I would never run any performance pc on an 'oem' power supply unless I knew it was a good oem as these psu's are often of poor quality and prone to causing all sorts of problems and hardware failures. A quality psu should be the first purchase consideration for a pc not an afterthought.

A 1060 is a lot closer to the 6870 power draw wise but I would still not recommend mating it to a cheap psu.

Thanks, appreciate the links also. It's been a solid system for the past 5 years, and I was always under the impression that Dell (at least back when it was new) used PSUs that were on the decent side.

Food for thought nonetheless. :)

can i mix and match 970's? i have a evga oc edition and fancy sli'g them for a wee 4k performance and for the next few months/years.

2 970's wouldn't be enough to run 4k, you would be limited with 3.5gb (4gb kind of) vram, 2 of them wouldn't be enough to run 1440p smoothly on every game. The 970 is a 1080p card. If you want to play 4k you would want to be looking at SLI 980ti/1070/1080 and for 1440p a 980ti/1070 is a good card.
