Update for my GPU

Just ordered the MSI GTX 970 4GB OC Edition Twin Frozr for $199.99 on ebay from a guy I ordered from many times. I was going to get the MSI GTX 1060 but I changed my mind and the 970 will definitely work for now.

Nice build! Do you plan on getting a core i7 anytime soon?
Yea, but I don't know when I'll get one though. I want the i7 4790K. If I can have this, I'll be done upgrading my PC for a few years.

Edited: I'm thrilled that my GTX 970 will be here tomorrow!!! A few days earlier than expected.

The best looking one... lmao! I picked the red & black Gaming OC, I picked this cause it matched everything else that's in my PC and I love the design... This is the exact one I'm getting, I took it straight from my eBay purchases.


Edited: I'll post back tomorrow around..... 4:30, 5:00 is when I get home

Looks like I won't get my 970 till Friday or Saturday... This is actual great because if they would've left it at the door, it would've got ruined! It was pouring like crazy. The box might protect it for awhile but it won't get protected from heavy intense rain for a few hours. It's crazy though, everytime I order anything, they will never ring the doorbell or ask for me to sign anything, I guess today was an exception. Lol

Nice! I'm saving up money to upgrade my PC as well. I probably won't get anything higher than a 500W PSU most likely an 80+ Bronze or Silver. How much did the TX650 cost?

That's a crazy good deal, it goes for $120 on Corsair's website! With that much power, are you over clocking anything? Or using 2 970s in a SLI?

Definitely not overclocking anything, no need to, plus my CPU isn't an unlocked version, if it was then maybe since It's being water cooled. But no overclocking. No SLI either (I don't have the money for another 970...right now, lol) I'm future proofing it for anything else I may add. Plus it's like you said, a great deal, lol. I'll sell my current 550 PSU for about $40-$50 since it's like-new.

I won't even get to REALLY use my 970 until monday, I have to work Friday - Sunday. So by the time I use my new gpu, my power supply should be close by. I just bought it and now it's already saying shipped!! They don't kid around when they say extremely fast shipping, lmao.
