I doubt you'll get even remotely close to 144fps, but hey ^^ the build itself is fine, no complaints from me :)

 

-edit-

 

apparently never mind, I don't know the prices in the UK but @zappian has a better build for the money.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

GTX 970 performs better and is considerably cheaper than the 290.

Changed it already

He changed it to a GTX 970, yet the 290 is still a better price/performance choice. That doesn't mean he can't go change it again.

Fair enough. How are PowerColor? I must admit, I do tend to overlook companies who aren't EVGA, Sapphire, MSI, Asus and Gigabyte.

There's a Twin Frozr 290 for £224. Up to you to decide whether the performance difference is worth £25

Powercolor are a fine brand, they're no EVGA, but they make pretty solid cards.
