That's my first build (http://de.pcpartpicker.com/user/admcsz/saved/9bCtt6), i'm looking to make a upgrade for better performance and to be able to play on my next 4k monitor , about b udget i got around €1K , almost forgot i live in Germany.

 

 

Hallo, Thiago! Willkommen auf der LTT Foren :D

 

As far as your rig, the 970A supports Xfire but not SLI. That being said, you could get a second 280X or you could get a GTX 980. Or you could do one of the following:

 

Here are my suggestions: 

 

Number 1)

Change the 970A to a 990FX (so that SLI can be a possibility later)

Add 8GB of RAM (for 16GB total)

Upgrade the PSU to a 750G2 (for future upgrades)

Get rid of the 280x and get a GTX 980.

Number 2)

Switch to Intel (i5-4690K & Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 3) (so that SLI can be a possibility later)

Add 8GB of RAM (for 16GB total)

Get rid of the 280x and get a GTX 980.

Danke  :D 

change to 990FX that's sound good but change to Nvidia dunno.. i was thinking in taking one r9 295x2 with new power supply too, about ram a definite need more. what you think about this upgrade ?  

Your current cpu is not that good it will bottleneck most high end gpu. I think it is much better to switch to intel get an i5 4460(Cheaper option) or a i5 4690k with a z97(with sli support) board then get 2 970 and done you will be set for 4k gaming.

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

The R9 295x2 is a wonderful card. However, the only retailers on PCPP DE are almost €1400 each. It would be worth it to instead get two R9 290X cards and a new PSU. 

 

Here is another suggestion: 

Get the 990FX

Get the extra 8GB of RAM

Get the 850W EVGA PSU

Get 2x XFX 290X 4GB GPU's

Or, for the offer in the comment from @nhatduy1611

 

Get the 4690K & Z97

Get the extra 8GB Ram

Get the 2x Zotac GTX 970 4GB GPU's
