I have been looking to upgrade my Setup. I've been debating between either a 980 Ti or a 1070. The cards i have been looking at are the Asus STRIX 980 Ti with 6GB of vram at 450$. The 1070 is the Asus Strix 1070 OC with 8GB. The one problem with the 980 Ti is that it is open box. Microcenter says that everything is in the box. if you guys could help me that would be really appreciated.
Right now I probably wont unless I do see a slow performance in editing, other than that i can run everything fine so I wont right now, but I might in the future.
So i was wondering about overclocking myi5 6500. Even though it is not the 6600k, i have seen post about people downgrading the motherboard bios and being able to overclock the 6500. Is it worth it? Also is it possible this could somehow break the motherboard?
