Obligatory "Follow your own topics"

 

Also get the EVGA GS/G2/B2 instead of the NEX.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

The EVGA GTX 980 Classified is $532.98 and an EVGA GTX 980Ti SC is $664.98, that's a huge difference in price so i'll go for the 980 :)
