Noctua is the best. Fuck anyone that disagrees.

Why the fuck are 2060 supers still so expensive!?!? The GPU market is so fucked right now...

ugly cooler

It's pretty bulky ye I agree. Atleast i'm not going with the default colors.

 

Why not some cool - pun intended - looking aio? Or you just don't wanna spend where u don't have to?

AIO's generally speaking aren't better than these massive heatsink fans, and those AIO's can have a slight risk of leaking

Ye, i'm going air because I have a bad history with water cooling. Coolermaster and Corsair have both failed me resulting in water damage before.
I know something like the Kraken looks very clean and has a very slight performance boost, but at double the cost. Also I'm gonna be moving it around a fair bit and don't want to risk any accidental water damage. Not to mention the annoying cricket sound that comes with water cooling at idle or low load.

fair enough

didn't ask

what are your opinios about the 5700xt?

I would get the 2070 Super. It's a little more money but I think it'll be a better investment.

Here are some benchmarks

It's a solid card and a better value than the 2060s or 2070s especially if you are playing at 1080p and don't care about ray tracing. That said, buying one now when the 3060ti exists just doesn't make much sense unless you just have to upgrade your PC right now and can't wait until the GPU market chills out a bit.

Userbenchmark isn't great for hardware comparisons. I'd recommend looking at actual standardised gaming benchmarks, HardwareUnboxed or GamersNexus are great examples.

anyone has anything better than 970 lying about for cheap?

[Snikkel]

I just build my new pc all except the GPU, but if ur thinking about getting a nh-d15 and u think its big. Think that times 10. It's a massive chunk of metal and fan weighing more than 1kg.
Also don't skimp out on a motherboard cuz ur gonna want all the GPU and RAM clearance u can get. I love mine, but it took a while getting it in perfect with a medium case.
