Hey guys!
I've been trying to do some research before I started buying parts for my new computer but I seem to stumble upon this site a lot so I figured I'd ask for the community's opinion directly!
Current parts picked: here
My concerns/doubts at the moment:
1. Motherboard:
- How does my current Asus Z97-A compare to MSI Z97-G45/5 Gaming?
2. GPU
- Should I stick with MSI for GTX970? I browsed a lot searching for pros and cons of each brand and gave up and decided MSI.
3. PSU
- Is the Corsair CX 750W optimal? If I SLI the GPU, it'll only go up to 492W so not sure if the extra wattage is necessary for the price?
4. Case Fans
- Should I invest extra money into 1 or 2 case fans? Not sure how much they'd help.
I included the case just in case but I got it for free from a friend so not including it in the $1200.
I also plan on OCing the CPU/GPU most likely.
Thank you guys in advance! Anything helps!
