Upgrading to SLI NVidia GTX 980 ti's & RAID SSD's
6,045Puget Systems helped me out with an upgrade of my 980's to EVGA 980 ti cards which are 30%+ faster and have much more video ram. I also had them throw in (4) new Samsung 850 PRO drives and configure them to a 'INSANELY FAST' 4TB RAID 0 volume.

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) Can I have your old 980's?
A) I traded them back to Puget Systems for the ti's. I wish I could have kept them though, my media center PC's would have enjoyed gaming for a change.
Q) Were the 980 ti's free?
A) Puget Systems upgraded me for free since I'm attending PDX LAN in November and they didn't want me to be behind the times.
Q) How much is your system?
A) Original build price as spec'd was $10,800 but prices change continuously. Check PugetSystems.com for latest prices on everything.
Q) Why didn't you install this stuff yourself?
A) One of the great things about Puget Systems is free labor on everything for life. You just buy the hardware and they will not only install it but burn test it, update the specs on the website, update your benchmarks, check for heat problems, etc. Their business really is unlike any others and that is why I love working with them.
Q) Chris seemed like he didn't like you and was being a dick (dark haired guy with beard)
A) Chris is a really good friend of mine IRL and we enjoy giving each other a hard time. He's actually an insanely nice guy and VERY funny. Everyone at Puget (including me) loves working with him.
Q) I unsubscribed because you're fat and killing yourself...
A) I blocked you because you're a pathetic excuse for a human being and quite frankly I care less about you then your parents obviously did... #BurnNotice #WonderIfAnyoneWillSeeThis :P
