Graphics Card needed!

Yea 970 is gonna be hands down someone people might say 390 but you won't need gigs of vram in 1080p and the 970 runs 1080p better

Stop saying things without any evidence. The R9 390 beats the 970 at every resolution, regardless of VRAM. Check JayzTwoCents' video recently. And every other benchmark on the Internet...

One thing you need to understand is that it's incredibly hard to create a bottleneck, as CPUs have little performance on gaming unless you have something like a dual core. Don't listen to want people have to say about you needing a better CPU, you'll be fine

Evga ssc or msi or windforce if ur gonna overclock

thanks! I prefer NVIDIA cards over AMD since it comes with shadowplay, easy to use twitch streaming, and game optimization. Also, would it be a big jump from a 960 to a 970? I'm unsure about the margin of gap between those two cards as I just have a wee little windforce 750 ti.

Yes its a very big jump. As far as models, do you plan to overclock? How much do you care about noise?

actually, noise matters somewhat, it doesn't need to be silent, but it doesn't need to be as loud as possible either. I'm not going to be overclocking as I will just be trying to get 1080p and 60 fps.

I'd go with msi gaming card then. That or the strix. You'll probably end up making your own fan profile anyways so you can tune it to your liking.

thanks, and if it's not too much of a bother, what power supply should I get if I were to get the msi version? I'm only using a 500w Evga bronze at the moment and I doubt it can handle a 970.

i run an i5, two fans, two hdds, and a 970 on 600w but you can go with 500w and be fine.Is your 8350 overclocked?
