Does Gpu boost clock show a major difference in performance?

[KevinDell]

So I want to buy a 1070. I am not looking to wait till next year for things to come back in stock. On top of that I'm trying to save some dough too.

I will also be getting the Corsair Cx550m to upgrade my evga W1 550W Psu.

I was looking at the evga 1070 SC, the Gigabyte G1, and the Asus Strix (no OC) Because they are all in Stock. (Didn't even bother looking at the EVGA FTW because I don't want to burn down my house.)

Will I regret getting the lower boost clock versions of this card?

A cx550m will not be that much of a upgrade from that PSU. I'd get this one:

Now about the 1070, the factory overclock that they offer is a really modest overclock, you can achieve it with any card, my rcomendation would be to get the card with the best cooling/price ratio. Of those i'd go with the Gigabyte G1 (i cant even recommend 10xx EVGA cards at this point).
