Hey guys, i have questions but first look my rigs
R9 280,i5 4460, PSU CX 750WW
Casing http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/n300/ (go to this link for more information)
Motherboard:https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B85M-E45.html#hero-specification
So my questions will be, Is it worth to upgrade my GPU for this? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1176846&gclid=CO7L9JC6zMsCFYaTfgodo-UCeA&is=REG&ap=y&c3api=1876%2C52934714882%2C&A=details&Q=
Will it fit in my casing? And will my PSu handle it well? Will it fit to my motherboard? Thanks!
 
Solution
Any good GTX970 will own 1080p 60Hz ultra. GPUs lasting for years is a mistake, I think, plan to upgrade every two to three years. One great year, one good year, and one needs to be better year, and budget accordingly. Reality changes too fast to plan too far ahead.
It will fit. The N300 is big and good.
Your PSU is powerful enough, but too low performance for my taste (It is a 'tractor' PSU in a 'race car' system.)

What resolution is your monitor 1080p? What is your refresh 60Hz? How many monitors do you have, 1?

That GPU is overkill for 1080p, 60Hz, 1 or 2 monitors, Ultra but fine for 1080p, 90Hz VR.
It is good for single monitor 2K, or 120+ Hz
It is weak for Ultra 4K in any configuration.
 
Everything will work. Your PSU is not a quality unit, specs wise it meets the requirement. Either get a good unit from good manufacturers (seasonic,evga etc...)

Now, it depends on your gaming resolution weather a gtx 980ti is good or not, it can max out any game at 1080p 60 frames , which a 400$ card can do aswell,so it looks a waste of those extra money. Ofcourse you can get it if you'll be playing on 1440p, as no other GPU priced in 400$ can max-out those "demanding" games giving you solid 60 frames, at 1440p.

Your best bet? To wait a little more for new GPUs. A R9 280 can still play games, lag-free at low-mid settings
 
My Screen is a samsung (i forgot the model) All i know itt's 1920x1080 and it's 60HZ yeah, my current GPU can run in almost ultra setting, in some new games, but it won't last til next year, so then i want a GPU that'll last for years.
