Look for any of the EVGA G2 or P2s. Gold and Platinum efficiency doesn't really matter because the difference is so minimal.
You won't need more than a 550W if you're running a single card.

Do you think it's worth it to save 30 dollars to get the EVGA supernova G2 550W rather than the P2 650W?

i bought asus strix 970 in july for $250
paying anything more if a rip off , the quality and power of the 970 for 250 (which is basically on par for dx 11 games RX 480)
is worth it!!!

GTX 970 should be worth 200-250 max.
Picked up a BNIB RX 470 8GB for $300 last week. Pleased with it.

Here's a hard drive storage question for you guys. How many of you guys use a SSD for storage files, like pictures/videos? I know the price compared to regular HDD, there is a $$$ gap, but just curious what you guys use for storage.

One SSD for OS and on other SSD, I'll put games and programs that I always use.
Dont really have much important files so picture and video will just be on a regular HDD.

That's my setup as well. OS and apps go inside of my SSD and everything else goes into HDDs. Sometimes I install games on my SSD if I want them to load faster, but most of the time I don't mind the load times off my HDD.

Anyone know of any good backlit keyboards with dedicated multimedia buttons (volume control, pause/play etc)? Most of the backlit keyboards I see don't have dedicated multimedia buttons..

So I am looking at this drive. https://www.amazon.ca/Crucial-MX300-...CIAL+MX300+m.2
Not the fastest out there but is pretty solid from what I have SSd from reviews. It's the cheapest 500 GB M.2 SSD I have seen. Uses 3D nand.

I'd say the lowest price you can find for 970s are $250 currently.
At $150 I'd go for a GTX 780 (what I went for/paid). On games it doesn't fall behind the 970 by a lot (unless you considering VR gaming). Messaged a few sellers on Craigslist for 780 and 3 of them sold for around $150 in around 1-2 weeks.
Just search up benchmarks and watch the market to get an idea of which GPU u want and how much they go for.
