Yup! Although you'd get a lot more bang for you buck if you SLI'd two 970s. I'll post a build shortly. Make sure you get Windows 8.1.

Thanks for the reply
Will I get almost any game maxed with 2 970's SLI?
I will be getting Windows 8.1 after I buy Windows 8. It's free after a purchase of Windows 8.

I will be getting Windows 8.1 after I buy Windows 8. It's free after a purchase of Windows 8.

Easily, especially 1080p! As long as the game in question isn't Watch_Dogs or Assassin's Creed: Unity or some other horrible PC port, you'll get some high FPS!

I just want to game at 1080p with max settings. Thanks, again 🙂

Expect about 1.8x the FPS from those benchmarks on 1080p. And no problem! Please pick one of my answers as the solution.
