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

Me? a girl? psh, don't be silly, everyone knows girls don't use computers

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

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.
