I'm currently planning my build at PC part picker and am now struggling to find a GPU 

So far this is my build with a GPU:

 

·      Processor: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

·      Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card

·      Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

·      Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

·      Case: NZXT S340 - Designed by Razer ATX Mid Tower Case

·      Storage: Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

       SSD:  Samsung EVO-series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Dive      

·      RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

·      CPU cooler: Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

 

 

Im not sure if going with a GTX 980 would be better...

 

If you see any other items i should replace please let me know.

R9 390 is a better offer than a 970

Did you mean GPU or PSU?

EVGA's NEX, B1 and G1 series are crap
