Well... if you have a cpu that goes along with it.

Assuming you have a 5 year old processor as well I would probably get a GTX770 or R9 280 series card, they should play those games fairly well as well.

But yea it would help if you listed your CPU, you might have to upgrade it if you want a GTX970.

Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @2.67GHZ

If you have proper cooling overclock that CPU to 4ghz then get a 970 it will be fine. You still have time with that CPU if you overclock it.

Brand doesn't really matter much, I would suggest EVGA SSC or FTW, or Asus Strix. I heard good things about the Gigabyte Windforce as well, but EVGA tends to have the best warranty and customer service.

The best ones are the Gigabyte G1 970, the MSI 4G Gaming 970, the EVGA SSC and FTW, and the Asus Strix according to most people.
