Really ...
While I'll freely admit that I don't know everything about every component made by every manufacturer, I have been building my own comps for over a decade all from scratch and often modded.
So I'm curious, what is it that people are saying that shows that they have no clue what they are talking about and what knowledge and input do you have that shows that you do?
You suggested SLI with the gtx 970.Really ...

A Card with 3,5 gb vram and you seriously suggested SLI. WTF



And just what is inherently wrong with two 970's in SLI?
I run two OC'ed 970's in SLI.
Why? Because I play more games than just this one that are more demanding and I like to max out settings with a stable 60+ fps. It was also a better performance to cost ratio to go with two 970's in SLI for the level of performance I wanted for all the different things I do with my comp.
Also, I never suggested to go SLI.
I did mention it as a consideration when looking at cards and their cost, performance and longevity. In fact, I only brought it into the conversation in the context of IF you are going to do SLI it may be better to go with 970's over 980's since it is way more affordable and the cost difference between the cards adds up when you are getting two.
This part I will partially agree with since there are gaps in the information given to us on what they have such as their psu.
However 970's really aren't that big of power hogs, approx. 150 watts from all the documentation I've seen, so unless they have a very underpowered psu, like a 300 watt or less, they will most likely be able to use a 970 fine. Besides, if their psu is that weak they should probably upgrade at this point and good psu's arent really expensive.
But yes more info to work with is better and it has been asked for in this thread, but until that is provided we can only make the best guesstimations we can.

A SLI with two gtx 970 ist some of the worst things you can do because of the 3,5 gb vram.Thats way to less memory for so much power. If you dont have any problems yet, you will get them in the future if you dont plan to replace them anytime soonAnd just what is inherently wrong with two 970's in SLI?

And also theres another manufacturer of video card called AMD. The r 390 ist as fast as the gtx 970, has 8 gb vram and costs the same.
Its not only the power. Older power supplies just cant handle new graphics cards proberly, even if they have >500 W. They can cause problems and if your are unlucky they can damage your system.This part I will partially agree with since there are gaps in the information given to us on what they have such as their psu.
