i remember how mad i was having to build my rig so soon for college and a few days after having all nice and top of the line DDR4, Haswell-E, and then the 900 series of geforce cards came out. it felt bad but i was still happy with my MSI 780 ti because it over clocks like a BEAST. i never wanted to switch to another brand from MSI but that extreme zotac is HUGE and pretty darn sexy if you run a single card system like me., so i might get one when of them when the 980 ti's or equivalent comes out.
