II think it better to get Hyper Evo 212 cheaper and similar performance or even better at sometimes.

Cool, but I could get an R9 290x for cheaper and a cheaper SSD.

The 970 is a way better option. We're talking 20-30 frames better. Also just because its less money doesn't mean it's better. That SSD is known to be slow, so it sells for less money.

Look. Even if the 970 is a better option, they both perform almost the same. My budget is $1K. The 290 is $270 and the 970 is $330. And that SSD is slow? So you're saying that a $50 Crucial Ballistix 8gb ram set is slower than a $80 Corsair 8gb ram set?
