Would it be wise...

[KingKeith55]

Would it be wise if I sold my R9 270, (im also probably selling my shitty 500$ laptop for like 300$, I really dont need it anymore and its collecting dust)

 

and used that and some money I have saved to buy a GTX 970?

 

The 970 Looks like a really really good option, because of its price to performance. Do you think this would be a good idea if I did this? With 4k becoming a big thing I might want to have some more power under the hood.

 

What is your opinion on this?

This is how I get most of my stuff.

 

Find buyers for my old card, and then use that money to buy new stuff.

Yea. The 970 is a great card. Or, we could wait for the 960.

[ThyFeared]

what is the rest of your build you could also get a second 270 if you are crossfire capable

The 970 would be better than an xfire 270

[ThyFeared]

well of course but its less than half the price

Selling his laptop for $300 literally has him 3/4th's of the way there he just needs to sell the 270 and he's good.

[KingKeith55]

but hes still spending more money

I dont even think my mobo supports crossfire. Il check tommorow.

[Clyne]

Do you really need that extra performance first? If not then don't sell it, just sell your laptop and use the money on something else.

[Victor Golf]

I wouldn't do it if I was running 1080 and not upgrading to 4K.

[KingDaddyDaniel]

If you're thinking of eventually going 4K or 1080p surround then definitely get the 970. 

[KingKeith55]

Also would a FX-6300 Bottleneck performance? I will probably buy a CPU cooler too (Hyper 212 Evo, not even hard to decide that)

 

So il probably OC it a little.
