I haven't bought the parts yet ahaha, and I'm not willing to wait weeks. I need my laptop cleared and ready for school only, and all my games moved over to the desktop so that I do not get distracted by the games in my classes, because if the games are there, I'll want to play them, not do school work. I'm eliminating that variable.
Tomorrow or Friday will be my parts buying day. That means they should arrive by Tuesday next week, which gives me 3 days to get everything running before I go back to school.
Plus, the 970 is a better card anyway, I'm not worried about the pricing as I've sorted it out.
