Not everyone can afford GTR R35's and GTX 980s... For the financially challenged the GTX 970 is a good alternative. I don't see anything wrong with your GTX 760 if you are still using a 1080p monitor.

I am Australian but I do live in Tokyo and the profile pic is because I am too lazy to change my old facebook profile

Indeed, the 970 is great bang for you buck, especially if you are on a budget.  After seeing some stuff I would be half tempted to buy it myself because I don't need that much in graphical horse power

would it be worth upgrading from a gtx 760 to a gtx 970? how big of an upgrade would you think that is?

As far as an upgrade, it's not worth it IMO. 760 is still a really good performer. Wait for the AMD R9 3xx and see what happens

Desktop: Intel Core i5 2380P (2400 w/o iGPU), MSI H61, 8GB RAM, 256GB SP610, 500GB WD Blue, HIS R9 280, Antec TruePower Classic 550W, Inwin MANA 134, QNIX QX2710, CM QuickFire Rapid, Logitech G402

 

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite L40D, AMD A6-6310, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Radeon R4 Graphics, 14" 1366x768

 

 

Phone: iPhone 6 Space Gray 64GB, T-Mobile $60/mo 3GB plan

It would be a huge upgrade.  A 970 is faster than a 780, It would double your performance

I agree with this person, in my opinion, just keeps playing your games until you don't feel satisfied anymore, then upgrade, the 760 is still pretty good for now, anyway. A good idea is to only upgrade when you are no longer satisfied with the hardware, unless you have lots of money to spare.

Not unless you're running 1440p or higher. 760 still performs really well at 1080p. If you want a good upgrade then wait for the next generation of NVIDIA or at least AMD cards

I'd say so, a 970 is about as powerful as a 780, if not a little more.
