How in the world can you comfortably sit at your computer? I mean there's no space under your table for you to put your legs.

Lol, it's a TV stand. I'll get a computer table soon?

Thank you (: and the 380 was very expensive here...! Around $300 so went with the 960!

Ha ha idk about that but among the 960s I either had to go with evga or Asus since they performed better than others... But evga wasn't available here... So Asus! I saw Linus's video before considering buying it tho!

Learned from a mistake, I even thought about selling the 970 and an asus 750ti for an evga or Msi 970.
