Reddit mentions of Giga-byte Gf Pcie3 4gb gddr5 hdmi dvi dp

This just popped up on my pcpartpicker alert!

FYI I used the Amazon link on Flubit and got the card for £244.98. Although the price is higher on Amazon at the moment, so you might get a better deal using the ebuyer link on Flubit.

It's a good card, but a GTX 970 is just as fast and uses a lot less power so no need for a new PSU unless your current psu is less than 550w. The gtx980 is much more expensive and not in your price range.

The minor downside is that you will have to uninstall your current video drivers and install new ones with the 970 and you will not with the 290x. Takes 5 minutes to do though.

You don't need the cooler tbh, but if you're anal about temps/noise it's a good choice. Else save the €33.

edit2:

Fixed links and titles, PCPartpicker doesn't list some stuff from amazon.de

Probably (the performances are 5-10% better) but I couldn't find any on PCpartpicker Spain. I've looked on Amazon, and there are some, like this one available on November 21st for some reason, but it still costs 50€ more than a r9 290. I figured going for OC capability and a 290 was better than no OC and a GTX 970, but I may be wrong about this.

tried to do a 980ti system but it ended up costing 1550 without the speakers.(+33)

If you want a 980ti in there you will have to drop the cpu to i5 or the ssd(i guess you need the 16 gigs)

Nope, thats about right. I'd probably still swap out the Samsung EVO for the 90$ Kingston (You can keep the evo if you want they're both quality SSDs), and since you're not overclocking take out the cooler (Intel CPUs + Nvidia GPUs are very energy efficient and usually run very cool/silent)

So it'll look more like this.

then whats the difference betwenn that MSI 970 and this Gigabyte 970, that makes the gigabyte need the extra 50w?

strangely enough here in italy the cheapest one is actually the gigabyte one

for 350 euros

How do I know if it is overclocked, I dont think it is but is there a way to check, also I wouldnt mind buying a new psu if the one I have isnt very good.

For which 970 to get I guess the best and coolest looking one, I've never really looked into overclocking

This is the card I'm looking at getting from a quick search

Talked to some friends and they said this is the best card to go for? Can anyone confirm? this

Edit: Sorry Guys. The Card for 249€ is sold out.

well: https://www.amazon.de/GIGABYTE-nVIDIA-GTX970-DDR5-Overclock/dp/B00NZT6D68/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1467135660&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+970
a brand new gtx 970 OC for 249€ exactly the amount i can spare (i really really savewd up money for that rx480).
so it doesnt matter what card i buy? can you point me out some generic pro´s con´s? im not that into graphic cards, but my 660 is dying right now.

btw, pls correct my english!

Good enough?
