Is the MSI GTX 970 Good for my needs?

Base computer with Windows, or peripherals also. Real nice to choose expensive parts. You do run out of money even choosing bad parts for everything else.

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/9YxLTW Changing to Asus gtx 970, and excluding all shipping and optimizing to delivered best price building off a baseline of GTX 970 and Thermaltake V71, your reasonable minimum is $1446 plus any taxes and delivery not shown. That assumes an 8 core FX-8320 and decent CPU cooler. The FX 8 cores are not good at gaming.

They are good at non-gaming. DirectX 12 may fix cpu core distribution, but so far gaming is generally 4 cores maximum of a CPU and no hyperthread support of the i7's in Intel. This is base computer including Windows.

I did not try to match color entirely, but aimed red, and did choose the MSI 970 gaming motherboard for its ALC1150 audio and other nice features. If you cannot raise your price point, and do not want to bottleneck the gtx 970 badly, you are stuck. This is near minimum on everything.

Your 2 part choices are 60% of your budget. Shipping is high in Australia, though they may discount in multiple items shipped to the same address. Are you a student?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
