Not really worth it if you don't game a lot, especially when playing indies.

any ideas

 

Yeah just keep the 280. When the new AMD lineup launches you should ask yourself this question again.

is the 970 a big enough upgrade from r9 280?

 

Upgrade your CPU/Mobo to an i5, the FX series is poor. 

CPU: G3258 @ 4GHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 OC RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 SSD: Corsair LS 120GB Case: Antec GX500 Mouse: Logitech G402 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Headphones: Shure SRH440 Microphone: That Zalman Zm-Mic1 that everyone recommends but noone uses

Remember when the R9 280 was the HD 7950? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
