Yeah i feel like I could have gotten more.. but I assume a bit of the void went into profit for the shop, which is only normal.

I went with them since a good friend of mine had recommended their shop... would I go there again? Probably not.

I don't feel like changing my power supply too since I only had it for a few months.. i'll look into the gtx 970.

How hard would it be for me to switch the two cards?

Edit: I'll check for driver updates right now Secksii

Changing the cards would simply require you to unplug your old one and put the new one back in. Very simple.

If you need help with removing your GPU drivers PM me.. I'll link you to Ghots thread with the utility link.. it's probably one of the most useful threads he has made.

Ok, I'm going to switch gpu.. I have a couple questions still.

Where would be a good site to order it from.. amazon? I was looking on there earlier and there is quite a few of them, which leads me to my second question.

I've seen there is quite a few brands that offer the gtx 970, and there seems to be different models. Any particular brand I should look for? Or model?

I have the strix,
looks sex and it's Asus.

superbizz has it for $323


another option is going with EVGA
doesn't look as sex, but it's EVGA, they got best customer service of all brands
also it has a $15 MIR if ur into that.
