    Need PSU upgrade

    I think I figured out my build.. need some last second help!

    Also pick a 970 that has vents on the back so that hot air can exit the case. The gigabyte card doesnt have vents on the back. If it doesnt exhaust properly, the air will just circulate in the case. this becomes even more important since u have 2 cards running.

    Are the Radeon r9 270x and GTX 750Ti both better than the PS4?
