I'm also on i5 4460, but Asus GTX 970. Asked the same question as you and was told CPU + GPU is a good pair.

As long as no stutter I'm happy tongue.gif

Those using GALAX GTX970 OC in a SFF casing please take note.

Happened this morning while I was playing MMO.
The heat cause the glue on the fan sticker to loosen.
The sticker then fly off and jam the fan.
I took the sticker out and stick it back then everything back to normal.

Does removing the sticker on the fan void warranty? I don't want same thing to happen again during my online game boss fight.

Thanks for the warning.

Been using an Asus 970 for 6 months inside a BitFenix Prodigy, no issues so far. Except really irritating rattling of the top airvent, tho at no fault of nVidia.
