As long as you stay within the 90 days

damn, and I'm sitting here drinking by myself at 6am because I can't get over my ex and she found a new guy.
don't do that bro, there are better ways to cope than drinking by yourself

I have not purchased anything. :)

I'll ask again, should I expect a rough few months with a 970 due to it being a new card and all? Never had a card that is less than a year old.
No. They're literally available today

20
I think I might just switch over, obviously not buying it today or anything, but it seems like a better card in almost every way compared to the one I was going to get. And to top it off it's like a $10 price difference and the card is a full 1" shorter.

Pretty much feels too good to be true.
Wait, so have you purchased a 770 yet or haven't you?

If you have already purchased a 770: do not buy a 970 to replace it
If you haven't purchased a 770 yet: buy the 970 instead

just got a "limited late summer crate"

so I guess they're dropping now or something

22
Whhhaaaa?
Why is this surprising to you guys? The MSRP for the 970 was only $330 in the first place

23
for my h440, i just hid a slim, slot-in dvd writer/reader on the inside somewhere.
so once every 6 months when i absolutely need to pop in a disk of some sort, i can just open it up for 5 min.
pretty much

there's nothing wrong with an external disk drive either, they're not that expensive

speak softly and carry a big stick

So has anyone done a custom sleeving job on their PSU?

I want to, cause my PSU has a rainbow of wires. 
Don't

Spend your money on something that matters first (like a new cpu you keep obsessing about)

27
I really don't plan on overclocking quite yet, will it still perform well enough? How much better is the 4590?

Sorry I'm sure I could find the answers to these questions elsewhere but I'd like some opinions too
It's 0.5ghz faster iirc, which is something like 15% faster and it's guaranteed to help in games because that's singlethreaded performance. However, you still can't overclock if you choose to in the future. It's a better choice imo to get a 4690k (overclockable) without an aftermarket cooler vs getting an i5-4590 with one, those two options are about the same price.

28
Pasting all the full part names or links would take me about an hour with this thing so if there are any discrepancies these are all on LI's "Excellent" tier:

Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H mobo fine
8GB Ballistix RAM fine
1TB Seagate Barracuda HDD fine
Seasonic S12II 620 power supply fine
Phanteks Enthoo Pro case fine
Lite-On Super AllWrite optical drive fine
GeForce GTX 770 probably fine
intel i5 4430 blehhhhhhhh
Cooler Master 212 EVO HSF BLEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The $30 spent on an aftermarket cpu cooler should probably have gone into a better cpu, considering you can't even overclock the 4430....
If there's still time, you should get the i5-4590 instead, or spend more in total and get an i5-4690k

OP, a few subreddits, and a friend

2 posts and it's already sounding like I've made a huge mistake

I mean from what I saw the parts I chose seemed pretty darn good, I'm only spending a grand and it's already worlds better than the $800 laptop I've been living off for 4 years, it's not like I'm looking to run brand new games on max settings or anything
Well, what did you actually get. The build is probably fine, just I don't like LI is all

everyone seems to have a lot of faith in these LI folks
who are you referring to as "everyone", just for reference

LI isn't terrible, but it really isn't great
