How low are you willing to go with your settings in 5 years.

For 5 years? Maybe. I have the same set up, and it destroys everything I throw at it. I know people that are still working with GTX 480's. so the GTX 970 wil last a looong time.

thanks for input, is the nh-d14 too heavy for the mobo or is it okay?

 

[Akmal Hazim]

hello?

 

[Brillis Wuce]

No, it's not too heavy. There really isn't any part that's too heavy for anything 😉. Everything has become completely proprietary, and your case is a good choice.

thank you very much! but just one question do i need a cooler for the gpu? is it recommended or not

 

[flaminburger12]

you don't need to get a cooler for your gpu, wouldn't recommend it
