Which 980 should I get?

[Jacob Canale]

Hi Everyone! I decided t get a Geforce GTX 980 for my Build, and I am not sure on which 980 to get. I am gonna be buying it from NCIX (Canada). Prefer that the price is 700-750. Any Suggestions help!

Preferably a Ti...

I would probably suggest that you should save the money and wait for next gen or pay a bit more for the 980Ti

Get whichever one looks the best and fits your build within your price range. The performance difference is within the margin or error. The only difference is if your going ITX  and depending on the case you would go with a blower style card.

Water cooled is almost certainly going to be cooler and probably will be able to boost to a higher clock. In saying that, some air cooled cards are excellent as well.

Edit: Read GPU up there, sorry. An air cooler is fine. Watercooled only helps if you plan on overclocking.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 will do the trick. Are you going to OC? if you're going, but how much?

Yes, ill probably Overclock. Ive heard that the 6600k can overclock to 4.0, so probably somewhere around there.

To be honest with you, I don't know a lot about overclocking. But you can search on YouTube on both; CPUs, the 6500K and the 6600K

I know this card is way out of your price range, due to how rare it is, but you should look at the Golden 980 from Asus. I have it, and it is hands down, the best 980. It kills every game i throw at. I never go below 75 fps on high settings, and never go below 55 on ultra settings on 1080p. It has a 1.32 GHz core clock, and a 1.43 GHz boost clock. You can get it on neobits

I know it's way too expensive, but it is something you should look at
