Hey guys, this is my first time ever building a computer, this is my setup:

I was going to get a GTX 970 but they're all out of stock.. I wouldn't mind paying another 100 dollars and upgrading to a different card.. What do you guys think I should get?

Thanks

I would just get a 970 and wait for stock.

Yeah, just wait for the 970 to come back in stock.

I know it's annoying waiting for stock to become available again but that's what you have to put up with when it comes to brand new components that are in high demand.

Next time, if the option is available to you, pre-order the parts if there are any that will probably go out of stock very quickly.

Seriously, wait for a 970. They have amazing price:p erformance. I would say to buy a 980 if you REALLY can't wait, but that would cost more than $100 to upgrade to one of those.

Yeah just wait for the 970. I know patience is not something that many have but patience always brings better deals .

If you absolutely can't wait, then the next bext best choice(without spending more money) is the GTX 780. Since the release of the 970 and 980, several 780s have dropped to ~$330. If you can I'd wait a few days for the 970 to return.

I think you should get some patience. ;) 
Failing that, the GTX780 is just a fraction slower than a GTX970 and at a similar price, only downside is most of them have 'only' 3Gb of VRAM.

If you don't wait for a 970, you will regret it.
I have terrible patience issues too, but trust me. It'll be worth it. :)
