Speccy shows it running at 667. That's the reason I said that. But yes, put the game you play the most on the SSD so it benefits form the performance. Other than that, you can throw everything else on the HDD. I wasn't really paying attention to your SSD size when I made my earlier statement.

Anyway, go into your BIOS and check the RAM clock just to be sure. Speccy isn't usually wrong.

DDR = Double Data Rate. Speccy is going to show half of what it's effectively running.

Speccy shows your effective ram. Also 970 is really good for the price/performance.

Yeppers...GTX 970 seems to be the price/performance king at the moment.

so seem to be sold out pretty much everywhere, was curious as to what your opinion is on the best brand atm. I see msi seems to be top from a couple sites, leaning towards it. Evga apparently is loud and still doesn't have as good cooling? Not really anything said wrong about the asus ones either

EVGA, ASUS and MSI are all good cards. various models from those companies, may have issues like you mentioned, but not ALL models.

/e For example....

http://www.amazon.ca/GEFORCE-GTX-VIDADPT-GDDR5-HDMI/dp/B00NJ9BJ8G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1413673561&sr=8-2&keywords=GTX+970

/e But don't rush out and buy just anything...be patient they will restock.
