Looks like a solid build. One things I would change is first, I would grab the Gigabyte G1 Gaming because the EVGA version of the 970 is known to have coil whine and also the thermal paste not touching all the pipes. That's really up to you but the G1 performs better, better cooling and is easier to overclock so if you could switch that, it'll be slightly better. I recommend AVG as it's so easy to use and detects threats much better than other versions. 

 

*this is really only imo but that mobo colour is kinda errrrrrrugfghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggggggg*

One correction here, while some 970 models have had the problem in the past, I believe it was fixed recently and is working as intended.

 

Reworded everything.

Which EVGA card do you have in mind? The best you could go for is probably the EVGA SSC, which is the latest version of the 970 released a couple of months ago if I recall correctly.

I am basing this on what other consumers like me have reported. Let me rephrase myself. I just recommend not going for the EVGA version as there have been SOME cases of sever coil whine while other brands have less reports about this happening to, for example ASUS or Gigabyte. This problem still is popping up, rarely but still happens. There are 2 versions which the newer one has it fixed but the old one still might have that small possibility of having coil whine. EVGA is a very reputable brand with great products, don't get me wrong there but I'm just stating what others have experienced. You may or may not get a dud.

*Once again, this is only my thoughts and in no way am I hating on EVGA or any brand. Just after what I have researched and seen as I often build PC's for friends. Theninja may be right that they may have fixed the issue but there are still whine issues being reported. Apologizes if I didn't make it clear in the beginning.

 

Good day kind Sir :)

Its fine :) It shouldn't have any issues but Newegg has a decent return policy so if it does come with issues, you can get a RMA. Great build, hope you enjoy it. If you need help installing any mods, just message me and I'll walk you through it.

Firstly, the blur is because of a graphic option. If you press P, it enables definition which makes it blur. Its also in the graphic settings beside Vsync. Just press P to turn it off again. As for LCPDFR not starting, could you send the scripthook.txt file in the GTA main directory? Thanks.
