EVGA Precision

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2972-KR 4GB GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2972-KR 4GB GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: -Outstanding single card performance at 1080p -Excellent Technical/RMA support -Doesn't break the bank -You'll probably never need to SLI at 1080p -It still performs excellent while downclocked

Cons: -Had to RMA Reason: Graphics card drivers crash while under heavy load and result in permanent black screen until hard reboot unless downclocked by -150 from default stock speeds. Tested with Unigine Heaven 4.0 Ultra presets @ 1920x1080 fullscreen with vsync disabled. Error also occurs in demanding games.

Overall Review: Always do a lengthy stress test for all components even if you aren't overclocking to verify their integrity.

As Advertised

MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G
MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti GAMING 6G

Pros: -Zero coil whine -Quiet enough to match my Noctua fans -Very solid construction -It's as good as it's made out to be -I'll never regret switching from EVGA

Cons: -Might be a bit large to fit in some areas, such as the top PCIE slot of Asus Z97-A motherboards. It's simply so long that it gets in the way of the USB 3 header. Doesn't look like it will fit too well in the bottom slot, but seats perfectly fine in the center slot. Recommend looking for a motherboard with a smarter design if you ever wanna SLI this beast.

It Works

Excellent Airflow

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0
Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: -Average price -Can support just about any kind of setup -Stock 120mm fans are good -Side fan support -Front panel interface cables are relatively easy to disconnect for better cable management if you don't care for the AC97 audio connector, or USB 2.0.

Cons: -Does not support H100i without modification

Overall Review: Recommend 200mm fan from Cooler Master to replace the front 120mm.

Another Great Product From Corsair

CORSAIR HX series HX650 650 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR HX series HX650 650 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: -Fully Modular = better cable management -High build quality -More than enough power for 2-way SLI/Cross-Fire -Efficient -Stable

Cons: -A single GTX 970 is already powerful enough for 1080p -A Single GTX 970 only requires a bare minimum of a 500Watt power supply installed

Overall Review: Would recommend to anyone with a 1440p or higher resolution gaming setup, or just someone who wants a high quality modular power supply.
