I'd get the 970, but otherwise get a 290X.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

GTX 970 should do the trick, plus it has 3 displayports for better multi display options.

290x because proper 4gb's of vram and better bang for your buck.

 

Noise and heat is barely an issue these days.

If it's just 1080p gaming, which it looks like to me when I look at the specs of this machine, I'd say go with a GTX970 and call it a day.

he already bought 970, it was really hard decision because both are good cards but eventually where we live there wasn't much of a choice with r9 290x, only asus coolers with bad cooling fro that chip.,

 

1080p hes playing at
