So I have been thinking about whether I should upgrade my graphics card to the gtx 970 or get a second 1080p monitor. My current gpu is the gtx 760 ad I have one 1080 display. Also would my computer be able to handle the gtx 970 if I did buy it?

SPECS:
MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX/SLI] ASUS P8Z77-V
POWER SUPPLY: 600 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
CPU: Intel(R) Core™ i7-3770 3.40 GHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked 2GB
 
If you want to play on both of the monitors then the 760 is not gonna be enough, performance will be limited and also vram. Go with the 970. If you just want a second monitor to monitor your pc or browse or watch things then the 760 is more than capable of handling that
 


I'll probably go for the 970, but will my pc be able to handle the 970 with the power supply I have?
 
Gaming = 970 (you can't game on two monitors, you need three center of screen can't be bezzle)

Productivity = 2nd screen

What I would do: 970 and if possible buy a used monitor for cheap
