The 980X might be available cheaper now that the 990X is out.

Actually there is no 970X: I was lead astray by sloppy people
who recited 970X, 98OX and 990X when the 970 is locked, so
no suffix. Anyway the 970 seems to be not common. I found a
local computer shop that had some leftover, but they wanted
499 A$ (= 520 US$) for it. I can get a Phenom sixpack with
mainboard and RAM for less that that.
