If you can go 1070 it should last you a little bit longer then 980ti.
Change cooler to noctua and boost the processor to stage 1. I assume that 16GB is enough for your adobe/media use. drop the ram to lower speed, the timings are better which is more important then speed at this level. Edited by DST4ME - 03 Jul 2016 at 9:57am |

Change your power supply to the other evga 750 watt for $34 if budget allows. Its the G1, I believe vs your B1. Better efficiency, a better supply with double the warranty. Plus, fully modular for easier swapping, vs partial modular for the B1.
Good luck. |
