[MENTION=12579]Shary Bhallu TC[/MENTION] yes Zotac is a Good Brand You Can Get it But I would Suggest Waiting For MSI's Or Gigabyte's 970 To Get In Stock If It Doesn't Gets in Stock Get The Zotac's Gtx 970 Which Is According to Reviews not a bad card at all.

About The Pro Yes I5 2400 For 8.5k Is Great But it would be better if you can find i7 2600 in 15k.

[MENTION=26661]Cerberus[/MENTION] the Amazon ones are also out of stock

Only Newegg CA has the ZOTAC one in stock. It's the dual fan version with 70 5 star reviews and 5 1 star reviews. They provide 2 year warranty instead of 3 year though. For 5 dollars more I can get an EVGA 970

but evga isnt available right?
how much is it costing you ?

ZOTAC is 392 cad including shipping (approx 35.5K RS). Zotac has 2 year canadian warranty.

EVGA is also similar in price (36K RS). EVGA has 3 year canadian warranty.

There is no tension of rupees as long as the cost of the gpu doesn't exceed 36K. I can sell my current proc + wii to increase budget to 54K or so...

if you are into GPU Overclocking, dont buy GTX 970 from zotac. it got bad reviews about O.C

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

Zotac just got out of stock. But the EVGA Superclocked version is in stock now. Reading the reviews, and most of the reviews are 5 star. But most of them say something about being too noisy due to coil whine. What is this coil whine; am hearing this term for the first time. I am afraid about it because some even said that it gets so noisy that you will hear the coil whine over earphones/headphones... Should I go for it? I can buy it right now cuz I got the all clear from dad a few hours ago.

Coil Whine, when GPU/PSU generating too much noise that even with headphone on you can hear it. this sound/noise is from either fan motor or some magnetic parts inside GPU, sometimes capacitors. i experienced 2,3 GPUs wiith coil Whine. the indicator is BUZZING sound can be noticeable while LOAD. It generate too much crazy noise. no real solution to this except RMA it if in warranty.

Well, no strong effect in performance, atleast i haven't experienced any lack in gaming. but better to avoid it. 7970 experienced alot coil whine with Gigabyte brand, but people claim they had successfully fixed the coil whine... HERE .

BTW my recommendation was MSI 970 Gaming. blazing Overclocked. but if you're comfortable with buying EVGA then it is stilll Fine. considering you're not an overclocker..

 

[Yasir Nadeem]

Like I Said Go For Either Gigabyte's GTX 970 or MSI's. Both Are The Best GTX 970s Available.

About The EVGA they aren't the same anymore atleast with the GTX 970. I would Say Avoiding the GTX 970 From EVGA is Better.

Getting the ZOTAC version today. Will order in a few hours. The card is finally in stock at fututeshop.ca so that's a good thing. Am thinking of ordering two and selling one here Cuz of limited supply and v high price here. How much would one sell for if I bring an extra card just to sell?

As without Warranty, i think around 42-44K depending on local rates for zotac. you can add/less. I am sure you will get enough outta it ::wink2:

Boom, just ordered Zotac one for 38K (420 cad). It will arrive by the end of the month I hope (mamu will bring it).
