I have a eBay voucher which gets me 15% off (must spend by 17october)

 

Was thinking a gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming and a 2560x1440 monitor (suggestions welcome)

 

But...

 

I have seen this deal

 

Asus PB287Q 4K monitor with Asus Strix GTX 970 all in delivered for £599

 

Or go with this

 

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming with ROG Swift £811
