[cairns84]

[stulid]

GFX cards? sure.

Pre order price and free game.

 

[cairns84]

whats a good match for the gtx 970? or good for cheaper lol

 

[stulid]

See above.

 

[Swagger187]

Intel is the don in the CPU market. I use to be AMD but now Intel and haven't looked back

 

[cairns84]

cool so does the r9 290x need any extra power if i had to get a second and crossfire them?

850W PSU is advised.

EVGA G2 or Superflower Leadex.

 

[Swagger187]

750 should handle crossfire. Maybe get an 850w to be safe.

Edit, beaten to it

 

[cairns84]

thanks for the advice guys really apprecaite it

 

[cairns84]

Made some money saving tweaks (RAM and PSU).

You had two monitors as well as those cards? either 970 or 980 will be fine.

What was the extra single fan for?

The Samsung Evo is for aesthetics as it will be on show in that case unless you have it hidden in the bottom slot. You can swap back to the Crucial if you are not bothered.

i was wanting 2 monitors as i dont have any now, i sold mine to get extra money for newer equipment and i was going for either dual gtx 970 or one 980 whatever was better for future proofing. the single fan was a replacement for the rear exhaust (if it would work) so i get the led lights in the case.

 

[stulid]

I see.

The single GTX980 will be more than enough for 1080P/1440P gaming.

 

[cairns84]

cool what is the best 980 to go for? il only be gaming on monitor and using the 2 for work etc.

 

[stulid]

If you want a free keyboard then the Gigabyte GTX980s come with a £40 one.

The EVGA you picked is fine.

I guess as the case has a window the Gigabytes may not be best for you as the logo on them illuminates bright blue.
