Sanctyy wrote Reference coolers are aight though. Some people prefer them for aesthetic, or prefer the blower cooler. Personally, I'd grab a reference cooler if it was my only/best/cheapest option, but reference 980Ti's don't have backplates, which is shit. The 980Ti is safe until like 99*c anyway, so you'll be fine and as long as your airflow in your case is aight, you'll be fine.

I know this sounds stupid but what should I do then? The EVGA one arrives 12th June so maybe that would be a better choice instead of the MSI one?

Just get whichever you can afford, and prefer.

Ok I think I'll go for the EVGA superclocked version then.

Also, are you sure the 500W power supply will be enough power for the GPU? Or should I go to 600? Or is that not necessary?

Thanks guys.

Yes but get the XFX 550w unit if you wish.

Is there another alternate to the motherboard as there isn't an ETA for the product?

Also, I won't get bottleneck with this build right?

Please could someone let me know.

Thanks

Ok, I've upgrade the CPU and Motherboard.

Do you think this will do?
