I been out the game for a while. What could a budget of $600 get me these days? I'd like to do some mid level gaming and have a case I could reuse and possibly my power supply but Id need to check on both. Can anyone build me something on that PC picker site.

i have it at 10% until it hits 30c, then the fan speed goes up with the temps.
for EVGA cards Precision X is the card interface.
for MSI it's Afterburner, so that is what you will have.
Afterburner works with any card

just copped MSI GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 coli fam let a nikka know what awaits me :win:
Code 43 in the device manager.

My boy copped that exact card less than a month ago and I had to replace it for him the other day. shyt just randomly fukked up and no, it wasn't a driver issue since using several methods to uninstalling and reinstalling drivers did nothing to solve the problem cept for replacing it.

Recently my PC harddrive died so I replaced it and install windows....everything is good. Things get weird and now it'll power up fine but my display won't work. I unplug everything make sure it's dust free and reseat everything. Power it up everything is fine and display works. Restart it to test it out and sometimes it works(the display) and sometimes it doesn't. Tried one last time and no matter how many times I restart still black screen. I give up and concede to build a new PC. 2 months go by and Wednesday I powered it up on a whim and it's working fine.....until today. I'm thinking its video card but it sounds like it's getting full power...
