I am new with technology and planning on building my own gaming pc. I have all the components ready but I have heard negative feedback from the GTX 970. Should I stay with the idea of a GTX 970 or is it better to have a GTX 980? Thanks.

If you're worried you'll need 4gb of full speed vram or you want to spend a but less you can get an R9 290(x). Otherwise the 970 is still a good option. The 980 is so overpriced it's not even funny, for that price you could get 2 R9 290s in crossfire and still spare money.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

If you can afford a 980 I'd go for it. It's one of the single best cards out right now IMO
