I think GTX 970 4GB OC Edition preferred Asus /Zotac with extended warranty would be the best upgrade even GTX 980 won't hurt if you can stretch budget

Thank you for the input! I will look into the 970. Is 980 worth the extra dough, in your opinion?

Both are bad choices now, if you can get a 980, the 1070 should be in your price range.

Yeah 980 is pretty pricey. A 1060 6gb seems like a decent choice for 300 . But i could pickup a 970 for 200 with warranty . I may go that route and save for a 1080 in the future. Any thoughts?

If you already have a decent video card, buying a 970 then replacing it would be spending money twice on the same thing. Just get a 1070 now, once, instead of two cards.
