Well guys, I have a question for you today.

Currently I have a GTX 770 Running 3 1080p monitors. I don't really game on my pc, but I am thinking about selling my PS4 and astros A50 and buy a better GPU. What do you guys think i should buy? a gtx 970 or the 980 or amd r9 290x.

System specs:
case: Corsair C70
CPU: i7 3770k not OC
RAM: 8GB
GPU: MSI GTX 770 OC
HDD: 120GB SSD and 1.5 TB WDC
OS: Windows 8.1 pro
PSU: Thermaltak SMART 650w

He's saying he will sell his PS4, buy a better card and game on his PC.

Get the 970 for best price/performance and or the 980 for absolute best performance regardless of price.

Non. best value is a tri x 290. this is as fast as most 290x (it doesn't overheat) and is comparable with 970 but about £50(75$) cheaper 980 not much faster if you need more get 2x290 instead.

If your not in hurry wait till February and get r9 380x/390x.

I would only SLI your GTX 770 if it was the 4 GB video RAM version. 2 GB video RAM is not enough for 3 monitors. If you do have the 4 GB GTX 770, it would not be bad idea adding an extra one. You can get the 770 very cheap right now.
