So 2015 is almost here and i think it is time to finally upgrade my pc.

Currently I'm using a i5 4440 + R9 270x+8GB Ram , my motherboard is an g1 sniper b5 with an 450W power supply by cooler master.

Right now I'm only focusing on upgrading my graphic card but any suggestion on upgrading my Cpu is good too.

I'm currently picking between the R9 290 http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-VAPOR-X-PCI-Express-Graphics-11227-04-40G/dp/B00JJJW4Z2/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1416859218&sr=8-8&keywords=290 and the Gtx 970 http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-Graphics-GV-N970WF3OC-4GD/dp/B00NH5T1UA/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416859395&sr=1-4&keywords=970.

I heard that the 970 outperform the 290 by a bit but the 290 is also 30$ cheaper. I would also like to know if there are any bottlenecking.

Mainboard:ROG-STRIX-B360-G-GAMING/Cpu:I5 8400 /Gpu: Galax RTX 2070 /Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4/ Storage:1TB HDD 2 Corsair SSD PSU : Corsair 550W/Cooling: Silverstone Air Cooler/ / Case : Corsair/Keyboard:Razer Chroma TKL/Mouse:Mionix Castor+Steelseries Qck Mass/Headphone:V Moda M100 

Quote me if you when me to reply to something.
