Wait for the GTX 1070, It'll be out VERY soon.

 

Edit: It's already out but wait for the non-reference models (EVGA, ASUS, MSI, etc.)

What does your budget look like? Around $1600. That's about $30,000AUD

Looks good, I would go for a cheaper HDD (a Western Digital or Seagate Barracuda)

I definitely recommend waiting for the GTX 1070 aftermarket coolers, much better price/performance.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

Remember to quote people if you want them to see your reply!

Suggestions: Switch the i5-6600K to an i7-6700, drop to an H110 motherboard, switch the GTX970 to an R9 390, and you are golden!

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

Few changes.. Just slight options of different components. 144hz monitor, faster ram, platinum PSU

 

If your happy with a 970.. look used.. the market will be flooded with used ones in the coming weeks. Or go 1070.
