I currently have Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz )Turbo that I have overclocked to 4.1GHz on an ASUS P8Z77-V running two MSI GTX 760s. I am considering upgrading the cards to a single GTX 980 ti. I am also thinking of buying a G sync montior. What is the best way to spend my money? Should I keep the SLI cards and get the best g-sync monitor or upgrade the card and get a less expensive g-sync screen?
 
I'm guessing you currently own a high end CPU also (Ivy Bridge i5 or i7).

If you just play at 1080p, better stay with your GTX 760 SLI and get the G-Sync monitor and later save for new GPU.

If you want to play at higher resolutions, get a higher performance GPU. Not necessarily a GTX 980 Ti, but maybe a GTX 980.
 


Thanks for the quick response! I have an Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) which I have over-clocked to 4.1GHz. Any suggestions on the G-synch monitor?
 


I can't really give you a suggestion for that, but on LinusTechTips they have reviewed various GSync monitor. You can check there for some options.
