Hell even my 960 still gets the job done. Metro 2034 on maximum settings at 60+ fps. No problem!

GTX 960 and 970 are great cards, if u peak any of them you end up being happy about them. I love building PC’s , when I’m stressed I always take my PC apart and clean it haha I ending up changing thermal paste on cpu and gpu at least once a month

@RAZ0R @Gepard, I've been looking at the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and the 970. Swaying to the 980 TI for the extra cuda cores and bandwidth to be honest. Finding myself doing more and more video and photo editing where they would be useful. But for both, the prices are way over what they should be so I am loathed to pay for them right now. I normally don't have a problem with buying used, but GFX cards as easily abused, so I tend to buy them new, or at least with a used warranty.

If I can get single stick of "ok" 8GB DDR4 ram at some point between now and October for less than £50, then I'll pick up either a i7-8700K or i5-8400, a new motherboard and a couple more WD 1TB drives to change the RAID to 5 and have a bit more space. Maybe treat myself to a super quick m.2 boot drive  :rolleyes:

Mobo crapped out on me so I bit the bullet and ordered a Ryzen 5 2600, MSI Mortar and 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM. 

Figured it was about time I upgrade anyway.

Can anyone recommend some decent component brands that don't cover everything in RGB lighting as soon as it pops up a level in performance? I'm looking at a new CPU/MoBo/RAM and everything is just covered in bloody lights!
