980ti Classified Performance

[Shinion]

Found someone selling a 980ti classified with a ek block attached. Should I pull the trigger on this at $315 or should I wait until people start selling their 1070s with blocks in the next few months for similar prices?

The 980 ti is similar in performance to a 1070?  Either way a ek wb is like $100 so if its $315 for the gpu and the blocks thats a pretty decent deal.

Not a fan of used blocks but if it looks like the loop it was in was well maintained then you could jump on it.

 

Depends really on what you're coming from but a good deal overall.

Coming from a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 470 and building a custom loop.

If you don't already have a loop that's going to be some big extra costs added. you'd need a pump and res (perferably a combo unit that comines the 2) at least 1 rad with SP opimized fans, fittings, tubing, a valve for draining.  Probably $200 minimum for quality (not including a cpu block).

already have all the pieces I need. Just need to choose a graphics solution bc throwing a block on my 470 doesnt seem like the best idea
