Hello below is my current rig.

Im interested in a new GPU as I can't max out the newest games. (shadows of mordor)

i5 4670k 4.6GHZ
OC GTX 670 2GB 1056/6008
Vulcan Gold 8GB 2400mhz
Maximus VI Hero

I was looking at the GTX 970 4GB (recommend me a certain one, I like to overclock)

how much extra performance can I expect, is it worth it?
 
There all £299.99 or so (such a hard choice)

I noticed the MSI one is faster and cheaper than the trixx, how is that rated?

Right now its between Gigabyte G1 and EVGA FTW.

EDIT: Can you tell me more about these heat issues? Im going to assume the cards cannot handle the OC or they are badly made.
 


I normally go for ASUS for my cards but the speed of the EVGA FTW is much better and its the same price so Im going to preorder that one :)

Thanks for advice.
