Thanks for the feedback on the PSU, I'll go ahead ahe switch it out. Regarding 1080p or 1440p gaming, what would be better value in the long run - the 1080 or 1080 Ti?

If i were to stay gaming at 1080p indefinitely, would it be worth it to get the Ti or stick with a 1080? Also, how would a 500W PSU handle the 1080?

Just looking for some advice regarding the question in the title. Currently running a GTX 970, 6700k and 16 GB DDR4. Looking to run games such as TWW2 at 1080p at 60+ FPS with max settings, eventually transitioning over to 4K. Also, would it generally be safe to run the Ti setup on a 500W PSU...

Hello, I recently cloned my HDD over to my SSD, including Windows 10. After 3-4 weeks of working, my PC suddenly was no longer able to boot from the SSD as of yesterday. When I try to restart the computer, it results in a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Upon further search I also noticed...

Hello, I was hoping some of the knowledgeable folks here on Tom's would be able to rate this build I've put together. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LHwhFd I'm curious how you guys feel it will hold up to current and future games as well as activities such as streaming on Twitch. Also, if...

How does that second setup compare to the z97 and i5 4690k earlier mentioned?

I was looking to stay within $500 or so, but really I'm looking for the most bang for my buck. Insofar as upgrading to the newest boards that are capable of using the next generation of RAM, how worthwhile is that? Will it be a complete bottleneck to continue to use DDR3?

Hello all, I am looking to upgrade my motherboard and CPU in order to accomodate a higher-end Intel chip for the purposes of high-end gaming and live-streaming. I am currently using an AMD FX-6300, with the mobo housed in a NZXT Phantom 410 Gaming Case, and I find I am running into serious...

I've heard the 9590 had issues with heat, is this something that's no longer a problem with that line?

Ah, in that case, if I was wanting to salvage the mobo, would you recommend I go with an 8350? I've seen them compared to i5/i7 in terms of performance, especially in games that utilize the multiple cores of the AMD chips.

Would yall expect to see any significant fps increases with the jump to the 970?

Thanks for the responses. I'm not sure returning it is a possibility at this point, as I've already opened it and installed software, etc. Assuming this is the case, would it be worth it to upgrade to the GTX 970, especially considering the recent price drop? I also have a 700W power supply...
