O.k. so I am wondering if the gtx 760 is still a nice gpu and if it would last a little while for games coming out or should i try to say f it and buy a gtx 970. I would prefer not to spend crazy amounts of money but here is my set up so far

amd 8320
gigabyte amd 970 motherboard
600 watt evga psu
16 gb ram
and i use a 22 inch 1080p t.v. as a monitor


Also I am wondering is lap top and desktop ram the same if there the same size? like 16gb in laptop is the same as 16gb in desktop?
 
Solution
if you can afford a GTX 970, the upgrade is very worthwhile since you'll be able to use it for much longer than a GTX 760 at this point.

Laptop ram is smaller (less pins), usually called SODIMMs, and they won't fit in a desktop motherboard. They're also more expensive so there's no point in you getting it if you hvae a desktop


"at 1080p you get crappy frame time with low-medium settings " Do you see this statement that you wrote? It is wrong i was pointing that out. And no i dont like arguing at all it makes me anxious.
 
yup that was also directed at lower gpu's so lets just stop this and i apologize for saying butt hurt.. it is just something me and my friend say if we where to get into a similar argument for comic relief
 


Okay then i apologize as well. Please stop it with the butthurt thing its such a console fanboy thing to say. And im just gonna leave this link down here maybe it will be clicked on and maybe you will get some insight into how the 760 really performs.
