Posted June 28, 2015 No problem, glad I could. From what I've experienced with computers, there is a need, and a want category. many people fall into the want category, when it's important to stay in the need category.

Posted June 28, 2015 Okay, so I was thinking about buying a Fury X, but I only have a 500W psu, and PcPartPicker says it will take 513 max watts, do you think this will kill my psu, or will I be fine? Its not the psu you need to worry about dying. Its what the PSU kills while its dying. Its not worth risking a $650+ card because you didnt want to spend 80 bucks to get at least a bronze 80+ power supply that has more than ample power.

Posted June 28, 2015 If you need a 980 Ti for fun, don't get that ref cooler, get one like the MSI Twin Frozer. Zotac fans are pretty nice too. I have a 770 and it's VERY quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 28, 2015 If you gona game at 4K then FX 6350 will not be a major bottleneck, if you game below 4K then id suggest an i5 or i7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 28, 2015 I have an H60, I dont think I'll need a Hyper 212 Evo. Sorry forgot to check your profile. I think you will be pleased with a 980 Ti over a 970 for a 1080p 144Hz monitor. Just remember to create a custom fan profile because it will run hot at idle. I get really high FPS with a single Titan X at 1080p. Love cats and Linus.
