Cool beans Neo !!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad you did not have cancer !!!

My niece ( who I raised ) fought cancer for 4 years . It was hell on her and hell on all of us . I would have traded a limb to have spared her the suffering . There is nothing more horrifying than watching someone you love wasting away from cancer and chemo . The worst was when it came back the third time . I really thought I was going to loose her . I'm happy to say that she has been cancer free for years now . Of all the people to get cancer , it should not have been her as , she was already in a wheelchair . Oh well , life is cruel and we just go on and do our best and keep our faith . The only lingering thing is the bills I'm still paying on lol . But , that is money well spent !!!!!!

 

I can't honestly say I " need " the card . It would be nice as I dropped and killed a 960 :P But I'll be happy to see anyone in our Heaven society win :D

Good luck everyone and really cool beans to @GrimNeo :)

 MSI Z97A Gaming7 , 4690k , 2 X MSI 960 4g , 500gb ssd , 7tb of WD hdd storage , EVGA 100G2 , Corsair h100i , 2 X 32" 1440p as I RMAd the 4k ones , CM quickfire .

NOW I'VE LOST IT I KNOW I CAN KILL . TRUTH IS HIDDEN BEYOND THE GATES  IT'S ALL DARKER THAN BLACK .

I had an almost-relative(really good friend of my mom's) go through a big scare with breast cancer, lost her hair for a bit from chemo. She survived, but it was scary. I want this card because I only have AMD, which is great and everything, but having both brands would really unlock the potential of these games. If I win this, I will donate all my birthday money, tops $50 USD to cancer research (I am underage and almost broke, I soon will have a birthday, so... Here comes next burst of money).

EDIT: changing max to 75 to avoid sounding cheap... Also adding on that I would either fold or boinc whichever card I'm not using at the time.

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

This might help out.

To All: If you won. Would you choose a reference or ACX 2.0 version of the EVGA 970?

because I LOVE having three to five posts in a row, I'm gonna say ACX 2.0, because open coolers are much cooler looking, and in general are easier to paint IMO.

ACX for performance, reference for looks and water cooling potential :)

I first loved PCs with my 9500 GT (uber overclocker mine was for some reason). 

I first hated PCs with my GT 440. 

I first hated my uncle for upgrading my GT 440 to a radeon 6670.

I first "banged" my PC with my radeon 6950.

 

I first angrily threw my fist in the air when I realized it's an extremely low chance of me winning the GTX 970. :P

So many firsts though...

@GrimNeo : You're gonna have the time of your life sorting through all those entries ... 

... Life is a game and the checkpoints are your birthday , you will face challenges where you may not get rewarded afterwords but those are the challenges that help you improve yourself . Always live for tomorrow because you may never know when your game will be over ... I'm totally not going insane in anyway , shape or form ... I just have broken English and an open mind ...
