I plan on upgrading my 270x soon and another user has suggested this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127841&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=. I like it as a choice because it is significantly cheaper than the regular 970. From what I've gathered the le means that the card will have a lower clock rate and less power consumption compared to the standard model. I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly how much performance I will lose with this version. I also want to confirm that this is a good choice and that it is compatible with the following parts:
NZXT Source 210 Mid-tower case, ASRock z97 Fatal1ty killer mobo, Intel i5-4590 cpu, Cryorig H7 cpu cooler, 8 gb ram Gskill ripjaws, and 600w power supply. Thanks.
