I saw this DIY supercombo on NewEgg and considering i'm looking to build a pc, it looks like the seemingly perfect deal. I know the power supply could be bumped up and i know the pny is kind of bad.
Why is the PNY bad? considering it's a 970, i thought it'd be worth it. Any tips or suggestions regarding this combo or really anything it duly noted and appreciated. Thanks!
