Hi guys I was wondering after a few months I've been worried about my GPU after the whole false ad thing about 970 ( I know I am a little late ) and my whole set up in general. I was like maybe it needs an upgrade and stuff. So give your suggestions on upgrading it or not for the PC built around 6 months ago.

 

 

Specs: 

Intel i7 4790k

MSI Z97-Gaming 7

212 Hyper EVO

Phanteks enthoo pro

GTX 970

16GB corsair vengeance pro DDR3

4TB black series Western Digital.

Hey there,
 
This build is great and you shouldn't have problems with it. 
I would also suggest getting a SSD for your OS and more demanding applications as it would bring great value to your system. Other than that this build looks rock solid and could handle pretty much anything you throw at it. :)

nope 970 is still a great card and that cpu is enough for probably the next 3-4 years with ease

Unless you're having issues playing any games or running any programs that you want to, I would say that you wouldn't NEED to upgrade anything about your build other than the aforementioned SSD.
