Been having trouble with my current system so I decided originally to replace one or two things....it didn't happen and i ended up dropping a lot more money than anticipated so i figure screw it just may as well buy everything new.

So far I purchased a Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition Super Gaming Modular Tower Case.

Z97X-UD3H-BK Mobo

Intel I7-4790K CPU

Corsair HX-850 PSU

(Haven't purchased GPU - Currently using GTX 660)

2x 8GB DDR3 ram (cant remember what kind) i think speed is PC3-10700 667MHz? not sure what number people refer to

2x 1tb black HDD for games and my 80gb SSD for my OS.

I'm pretty sure that's everything. For now I am mainly searching for a nice GPU (best bang for buck). So I figured I would ask you guys.

Any advice helps! Thanks guys!

Don't get smaller than a 120GB SSD ...250GB SSD is even better.

80gb is fine for os and some programs,

havent even hit 50gb on my os ssd



best bang for your buck graphics card is amd's 290 if you dont like amd, gtx 970

if your budget isnt that high, list your budget

That's you...and what size is your SSD? No I'm not gonna argue with you. You're giving bad advice, just to argue?





/e OP get a 120GB SSD or bigger. Check the Computer building forum...NO ONE gets a 80GB SSD.

Better yet, just get this one: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e250bam

Yeah I was considering either the GTX 970 or 980. Given the almost double price between the 970 and 980 what would be the difference graphically? I mean I dont typically run extreme HD games...however if I wanted to what differences would I expect. Also when purchasing a GPU i notice there are typically 6 different cards of the same type to choose from; one being a Superclocked one. Is this the best choice?

/e

For a better comparison, can you compare the functionality of the new card to my current GTX 660. What kind of difference would I see?

Havent formated my pc in a few years
install all my games on my hdd
all programs on ssd

sitting @ exactly 80gb usage, including probably 10+gb in my dl folder lol

I went from 670s to 970s and there was very noticeable difference but I also play on surround

Play on surround? What?

nvidia surround like eyefinity
