Hi MisterSprinkles,
Thank You for the reply,
Micro Center Didnt have a 970 so I picked the 980
I am planning to build this in June, So Just waiting, see what Prices do.

I was Trying to build without spending too much. I even considered just puttin a 200 dollar 2gb vid card, it would still be an upgrade from what I have now. A10 laptop with radeon 7660g


also I am not playing lots of different titles. I play COD UO but not so much any more because of lag, not even sure if the lag is on my end or if the server is lagging.
And recently I started playing The Hunter: Primal on steam an early access game. I dont really have time or money to spend on multiples of game titles. For ex: this game The Hunter: Primal I am currently playing on low settings and it works,
Ive never had a dedicated machine just for games. I even posted a request for a build, that would support just this game. but no reply.
I also read in the toms hardware forums that an i5 is better than an i7 for games because the i7 would have cores or some other feature that wouldnt even be used during gaming?

The plan is to just play one game, The Hunter: Primal is a time consuming game, maybe one or two new ones, I would like to record some game play and post it YouTube. Maybe store Video from my GoPro, Moto G, other devices. I might even try some of the steam software gamer to game designer, but I have some other projects so I will only be using this pc a few hours a day. Down time after work, Would be nice to play at High Settings and Ultra for a change, last time I had a good gaming rig was in 1996.
