My sister lives in Canada and she is caming home this august and i want to get a new card for around 400-500 CAN dollars. I have seen that i can buy a GTX 970 with this amount of money. Should i buy it,or go for another type of card. If so,please tell me what card would be best. I dont have the money to get the GTX 980. Thank you

Lots of stuff which is too much to quote I'm sorry :P

Heard lots of good stuff of the 970.

MSI: All round performance and great silence.

EVGA: Great customer services, but probably not if you take it away overseas and silence is also good with 0db mode.

ASUS: silence optimized

Gigabyte: great temps and amazing overclocking.

 

Only problem with 970 is that SLI'ing will break it's VRam. Games, instead of using the GDDR5 3,5GB Vram, it will use the horrible leftover 0,5GB which is broken.

Basic guide to CPU's!

If I said I were 14, you would call me a kid. If I say 70, you’ll entitle me too old. If I say 20 you say I’m inexperienced and if I say 40 than I'm too boring.
