And whats hold me off was 980ti stock and the monitor pg278q

I just found out that today a new montiors batch has arrived

Ia it worth order the 980 ti with a reffrence cooler or should i wait for a better option like the g1/asus strix?

The only reason im noy buying the parts today is because the gpu

Thanks

I personally would say go for a non reference cooler but that is just because I never liked the look of the reference cards. I just ordered two EVGA GTX 980Ti ACX2.0+.

CPU - i7 8700K / Motherboard - ROG Strix Z370 E/ RAM - 32GB Cosair Vengeance DDR / GPU  - GTX 1080ti - EVGA FTW3 / PSU - Seasonic Snow Silent 750W / Cooling - Cryorig H7 Monitor - Acer X34 Predator / Sound - Corsair Void - Case - Meshify C

I would not recommend the reference(blower cooler) unless you have a small itx computer. Wait for a open cooler.

Gigabyte for better OC chance; EVGA for customer support and good ACX cooler.

Ok i already sent my parts list to get final prices

After that ill see what im going to pre order

G1 or evga

G1 looks much better to be honest

But if i can find a way to get my hands on a 980ti hybrid evga that would be so much better
