Hey, i'm new here. I need to make a order and i'm only using newegg.com
I don't need a monitor atm but if you see one thats cheap and good let me know.
I don't need OS.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125684&cm_re=gtx_970-_-14-125-684-_-Product
just looked at this card looks pretty good. Is the card better compared to other 970 cards?

I just got a 4k vizio p series I would like to play on sometimes so 4k capable would be nice.
I would like to OC
I like intel stuff more than amd and would like a 970 or two of them if possible.
Could blackfriday discounts be factored in if you browsed?

Some quick help on this would be so cool

I might buy something from somewhere else if amazing discount! lol

also I bought a 5.1 blutooth vizio surround system with the tv. Would I be able to output my audio from the computer to a blutooth surround system? Sorry if a dumb question

If you have access to a Micro Center they have some insane deals on motherboard and CPU combos. I just picked up a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H and i5-4690K for $280.

That said I like the build that was posted earlier but I'd offer this as well:

this should max any game you want i would go for sli 970's for optimal performance.

Pretty nice part list. Some things to go over with you.

i5 4690k or i7 4790k? I think the 4790k is also discounted right now too.

Would you say the mobo you picked out is really good for sli and OC? if I needed to go over 1600 it's possible.

Noctua NH-D14 I heard is a really good cooler but it costs more is the one you picked out close to the same cooling levels?

Last few things.. I read about that GPU which sounds great but does anyone know if it is very loud? I read a few comments about it but i'm not sure if they might have just had a more defective unit sent to them.

EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply or that xfx?

is that a good promotion price? I could just get that SSD sell the game it comes with on ebay then still get another cheap 1tb drive?

 
Anyone else who can give a build or comments? I just want to get this ordered soon and quit worrying myself with finding the parts lol

also could someone answer the audio question?
 
I'm guessing my thread is getting burried by spam. Could I please have some help? Sorry this isn't some dumb black friday thread. This is I need to get my order in before my financing offer expires thread. Anyone else?

If you don't need operating system it comes out to a little less than $1600.
