290x Lightning and nzxt hoover
Hi people,
tomorrow I am ordering new gfx card, my budget is up to £320(covers all 970, 290x) I am replacing msi 270x. I'm thinking about one of these:
MSI Radeon R9 290X LE Lightning Edition 4096MB £281.99
MSI Radeon R9 290X Gaming Edition 8192MB £299.99
OcUK GeForce GTX 970 "NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition" - nVidia refference cooler £299.99
KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" 4096MB £289.99
Case: H440
PSU 650W Corsair RM
i dont play any single player games that are usually in reviews
card will be used for COD:AW, WOW, LOL on 1440p or 29 inch super wide. I'm just afraid that 290x will be like a hoover on my table, since i play with speakers 90% of the time. 8Gb sounds tempting but i don't think that it will be any use for my games.
I Would have bought 970 few weeks back but now after all that fuss it kinda looks broken and if it will be replaced by some 975 in months time ill be heartbroken and will cry like a little girl. But at the same time 3.5GB is probably 2GB more than my games need, and its super efficient and runs cool.
Msi 290x Lightning is my favourite but 650W and h440.. please help to chose
