great thanks.

Paired with a AMD Opteron? no.

 

Paired with an Intel Celeron? overkill.

 

Paired with an Intel Core i5 4460? Yeah it is fine.

 

Please be more specific when you post questions like this.

 

Also, please consider the AMD Radeon R9 380.

great thanks.

 

It's a great PSU, but is there any specific reason as to why you decided to go with NVIDIA over AMD on this one? After all, the R9-390 does have a 5-15% higher performance rating than the 970.

I already i have the PC ;p my psu blew the other day, so I'm just gonna get a new one as it's pretty much the same cost as sending it back to evga for warranty replacement

650w is overkill for any of these. A decent 500w would already be plenty.

Here are som enumbers with an oc'ed 5960x.. http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-970-oc-mini-itx-review,7.html

The 970 is easily better than the 380 and is more on par with the 290x.

650W is enough to drive my system.

I believe he meant to say "390".

Buy the best for the money, not the best money can buy in your price range.

Ahh, that would make a lot more sense.

No pricing was mentioned.

Refer to post 12.

No, I did not mean the R9 390.

 

I meant the R9 380.

 

Compared to the 970, the R9 380 is far superior in many scenarios where data-computation (mining, folding, video-rendering, or any other GPU-Accelerated task) is required, the R9 380 gets the shit beat out of it.

I'm fairly confident in saying a 100 USD difference in price is worth the 30-40% boost.

What point are you trying to make?

For the money, the R9 380 is better than the GTX 970.

 

For the money.

But a 390 is even better.

[Guest]

Yes.

 

Good job.

 

But those cards can range from $330 all the way to $550.

Are you serious? Are you confusing it with a 390X?

 

390' s can be purchased NEW for 290 USD.

Oh sorry. I only include MSI & Sapphire in my price comparisons.

 

And I may have some of my prices mixed up.

 

You have to realize, I am basing most of my approximations on memory.

Nope. the only thing I suffer from is insomnia (I mean, it isn't as bad as either of those, but it still sucks).
