Just ordered this:

God bless B Grade - apparently just a customer return and no issues.....

'GALAX Gefore GTX 970 OC Silent Infinity Black Edition' Total paid - £240.

Quite the upgrade from a 7950 and glad to be going back to Nvidia again

Nice one, doesn't seem like a stonking deal but should be a good upgrade for you.

No its not a complete bargain but given the new one is £50 more im sure it worth it.....

hopefully my 2500k wont bottleneck too much - ive clocked the living daylights out of it

Fingers crossed on no coil whine..

haha!! yes indeed

Nice jump up from the venerable 7950, however it should not struggle in WOW as it is still a solid card.

The i5 2500K is still a solid CPU so no dramas for a while yet

makes me think perhaps that there is an issue then....

Ive been tempted for a while to reinstall windows but I only had the 'upgrade' version of it and so installing it all again is a right pain

Yeh my 2500k is clocked to 4.2 and I've got two SSD's - theoretically my system should fly with this new card - I'm honestly not bothered about the vram - I'll likely never max it out unless I get GTA and given the overall research that I've been reading, the 970 appears to come out on top in 51% of cases lol.

Overall I wanted to go back to nvidia this time and I'm sure I'll be glad I did
