    Was offered 2 gtx 970 MSI Gaming 4gb for $450... should I take it?

    The title says it all but i'll add in some stuff anyways. I have heard that 1 of this card OC can perform on par or even beyond a single gtx 980. Theoretically if I were to put two of them in sli (overclocked) i'd get a setup on par (or at least a little below) with the performance of a gtx 980...

    i7 4790k+GTX 560 ti or i3 4150+R9 290

    I am upgrading my current pc and monitor which is very outdated (core 2 duo e6850). I have completely ruled out getting an AMD processer as intel's i3 processers out perform it them.

    i7 3770k upgrade or gtx 970 upgrade?

    Right not my cpu is the old i5 2500k and since the new 900 series graphics cards came out, I have been thinking of getting a 970 instead of a i7 3770k. Is this a good idea. My current gpu is the awesome but old gtx 460. I play games like EU4, CK2, and any total war game, so please don't base...

    Is a Xeon E3 processor a good choice for a gaming/editing rig my upgrade budget of $400?
