Hello,

I am building a gaming pc ATM
These specs are:

i5-4690k cpu (integrated graphics ATM)
MSI b85-g43 mobo
2x4gb ripjaws 1600 ddr3 ram (upgrading this soon to 16GB)
Thermaltake watercooler
fractal design define r5 mid tower
Sharkoon WPM700 psu
Samsung 850 evo 120gb SSD (i will add an HDD later for games)

So my question is. What Graphics Card suits me the best? (1080p)
I will do games like BF4 and BO3 (when its out)

William.

A GTX 970 should be good for you. I don't play either CoD or BF but I hardly ever dip below 60fps on any other game with my 970.

My choice was between GTX 960(4gb)/970 or the R9 380

A 960 would likely be okay for you as well. You may dip below 60 here and again, but the 960 is really meant for 1080p gaming. The 970 is kind of an inbetween, it's a beast on 1080 and can dabble in 1440 and higher. Only game I have the dips below 60 fps is the Witcher 3 on Ultra with Hairworks turned on.

Ok, when the 970 will be in my budget then i will get that.
Otherwise i'll go for the 960. Thanks
