GTX 970 at 1440p

[JDinis]

Hi there, i am building a new PC an just bought a GTX 970. I Have a solid build and i felt i would be wasting money on the gtx 980. I am thinking about buying a ASUS ROG PG278Q, witch is a 1440p, 144 Hertz and G-sync.
I may or may not SLI my GTX 970 the next year and i want to know if the gtx 970 can handle this monitor. I want to play at least at 60 fps.
I im consedering this monitor because it will have space for future upgrade (while an 1080p wouldnt) and cuz i am looking forward for higher resolution.

Am i doing the right thing? Can use this monitor at 1080p if the gtx 970 cant handle it? Please help, sorry for any bad english

You should be able to. My 780 ti can play almost all games at good fps (45-60) on 1440p ultra settings. No doubt that 970 wont /

I have been thinking the same..do I go PG278Q and new GPU or not. If I do then I'd have to buy the 980. The performance isn't quite there with the 970. And the monitor costs $800, plus new $600 GPU. ouch. But I am starting to think that is the reality..as much as I don't want to.

If you stick to 1080p then a 970 will be overkill...meaning it will last you 2 years.
