This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

I would like to know the differences between Gigabyte GTX960 OC 2GB (M-ITX) DDR5 and Gigabyte GTX970 4GB (ITX) (Winforce),

 

thanks!

The 970 is better than the 960, but roughly 120 euros/dollars more expensive.

Even though the clockspeeds may be similar, the amount of cores >'shader/cuda'<--as they were once called (or GPU cores) are of a higher amount in the 970 over the 960, it can get more work done at the same clock cycle.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

You should go with a normal-sized graphics card. Both of those cards are mainly for smaller ITX cases.

 

The normal-sized ones are generally a bit cheaper, as well.
