EVGA has one of the best customer service in the business, so buying refurbished is basically buying brand new.
OOS at the moment, but they restock very often.
I don't like to buy shit from eBay anymore, especially more expensive things since eBay automatically charges custom import fees now. It's such a cash grab, jesus christ.

I run a Strix, but would take the EVGA one if given the option to now.
As for painting the shroud, I painted the XFX 280X I had in my previous build white as well as a few other components. NZXT S340 w/ MSI Z97S Krait Edition - Pure Sexiness - Album on Imgur I ended up adding a Kraken G10 to it later, but didn't take any photos of it.
I believe painting the shroud voids warranty, but it's ok to switch out the heatsink for another cooler or to open it up for repasting. If you want to be cautious, buy an aftermarket cooler and paint that. Plastidip is fine. The shroud doesn't generally get hot.

Now i have two 970 to sli 
Ps. I made sure it was canadian dollars and that it was the correct model, not the LE version.

I recommend the CM one due to three things:
1) First hand experience. All CM peripherals that I've owned have been great and none have ever broke down on me. I currently use a Rapid-I and I highly recommend it for those looking for a tenkeyless.
2) Customer service. The current Rapid-I I'm using is actually a warranty exchange. I spilled some liquid on it a few months back, and the CM rep on Overclock.net instantly approved an RMA for me.
3) RMA center. It's located in Richmond. Simply bring your approved RMA to Daiwa on Viking Way and they'll give you a brand spanking new one.

Raid 0 for SSDs is not just worth it.

Out of curiosity, I posted my computer on Craigslist with a price of $1999 to see what I could get for it.
My system is about $1750 after taxes, so while $1999 is overpriced, I wasn't expecting anyone to pick it up. Intel Core i7-4790K, Asus GeForce GTX 970, Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX - System Build - PCPartPicker Canada
Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.2GHz
ASUS H97i-PLUS
8GB Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3-1866
ASUS GTX 970 STRIX
240GB Sandisk Ultra II SSD
Phanteks Evolv ITX
Seasonic X-750 750W 80+ Gold PSU
Cooler Master Nepton 240M CPU Water Cooler
Rosewill Hyperborea 140MM Case Fans
Then someone sent me this email. Quote: |
I mean this pig has 8 GB ram, a small hard drive and you're charging $2000 for it? Oh wait you were hoping no one would notice with the $1999? Nice try! You're worse than Apple fan boys with their overselling of their macbook pros. Maybe you shouldn't have spent beyond your means for the computer. Anyway, I'll give you $500 for it and that is being really generous given how outdated the specs are on this machine. Even the macbook pro I am writing this on has 16 gb ram. And how many games are you supposed to store on a 250 gig harddrive. My mac pro has 512 gig SSD. Didn't know my pro was far better at gaming than your "top of the line" one.
| I told him I'd take $1000 just to dick around with him, but he hasn't replied back.

I need a new SSD, finally running out of room on my 64GB Plextor, hovering around 5-6GB left. Haven't noticed any slowdowns at all but will probably soon. Any recommendations for some good 120GB SSDs? Samsung 840 Evo?

I think the Sandisk Ultra IIs are excellent SSDs for the money.
I run a 240GB in my desktop, and use a 120GB Samsung 850 Pro in my laptop.
I don't notice a difference.

The 240GB drives are only fractionally more expensive, and they tend to be faster than their equivalent 120GB models as well.

Im planning on getting rid of my old ssd entirely | Use your existing SSD as boot and use your 2 new SSDs in RAID 0 for games. Do a fresh install for everything.
I have 2 SSDs in RAID 0 just for my games. Everything loads much faster.
