Not bad. 

I still personally wouldn't buy it because it's Asus... and... well... there's a reason they're disliked here.

yeah

if I had the money, I'd buy a 290

I rate this deal 3.5/4

And what reason would that be? Customer support?

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

Isn't the STRIX 970 the worst next to the reference?

I used to be quite active here.

Yeah. If this were the Strix 390 then I'd have cooler to stand by.

Also, I'm pretty sure this is that one oddball 970 that's voltage locked.

We're all going to have our own anecdotal experiences with ASUS or really, most major companies. Some live by certain companies. Some just hate certain companies.

 

I myself don't really care. I criticize all companies, no matter how much I like them.

That's an amazing deal. I would go for it, just make sure it works first and is stable.

Why would he spend 100$ more to get 2-5 more FPS tops?

I rather get a EVGA or MSI for 250-300 than a Asus for 200....

Horrible GPU Tweak interface, support is horrible, most Direct cards are mostly quietness now and not overclocking and temps...
