The gpu i wanted is a GALAX GTX 970 EXOC but pcpartpicker doesnt have it
 
unless you plan on doing some serious overclocking, switch the CPU cooler to the hyper 212 evo or zalman cnps10x optima, or something like that.
if you let the PC be delivered to you pre assembled it would be wise to get another cooler aswell, that hing is heapy and might just break your motherboard on a bumpy ride
 

im purchasing it at my local store, but the 212 evo is not available here but 212x is, would you recommend it or the zalman you recommended?
 
the 212x is an upgraded verison of the 212 evo, so it does perform a little bit better than both the 212 evo and zalman cooler.
so if there is only a little price difference between the 212x and the cnps10x, you should get the 212x. if the difference is bigger and you want to save some money, just go for the zalman cooler, it'll do just fine, and you can achieve some minor overclocks with it aswell
 


thanks went for the 212x because its only like $5(RM20) difference between them
