Decided I'm gonna go ahead and get the 970.

How's this build look? http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/gnXjCJ


Your CPU is fine

Pointless to build a whole new machine right now

skylake won't be anything special imo


Will be around the price of current gen intel, DDR4, Faster all around etc.

I'm not saying its going to be a MASSIVE upgrade from current gen.. As we're still waiting on benchmarks to show its performance... Just why upgrade to current gen intel, When new gen comes out soon?

8120 is a shitty cpu, so it'll be a good upgrade investment

Agreed. It won't be a huge upgrade, but Intel is at least consistent in their processor iterations. I believe since Sandy bridge each iteration has been a 10-15% improvement and what ~25% in IGPU.

Couldn't do it unfortunately. Didn't have an 8-pin required for the video card :(

Just finished building it but problem is I had to buy a different case cus the one I wanted was sold out. And my cooler doesn't fit (off by like half an inch).

Anyone know of a good cooler that's smaller than the hyper 212?

Can't make up your mind or what? :D

are your eyes on disability too?

970 is the better option, but it is not the best bang for buck. the 290 is.
