1.    Budget & Location

Mexico, so I´m just using pcpartpicker as a reference and to make my list of components keep in mind that 1 USD = 15 Mexican Pesos

My budget is around 19,000 Mexican pesos that roughly translates to 1200 USD
2. Aim
Mainly for games and some college work, I´m planning to game only in one monitor while the second monitor comes handy for multitasking

What games I´m gonna play? Mainstream FPS such as BF4, COD, Borderlands

My goal is a Pc that can handle these types of games maxed out at 1080p/60fps

Silence is a must, I´m willing to sacrifice a bit of temperature for silence

3. Monitors
I´m planning two monitors from Asus VN247h-p these are 1080p, 60Hz, and 1ms

Maybe in six months or so I would like to add a third one

4. Peripherals
Just need a good mechanical keyboard with red leds and some good 2.0/2.1 speakers

2.1 = Logitech z623

2.0 Creative Labs Gigaworks T-40 Series II

I mostly listen to EDM( See Xkito youtube channel for reference) and Death Metal some bands suchs as Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Icon For Hire

I must say that I love bass but not a degree that turns overpowered

5. Why are you upgrading?

Right now I´m stuck with a cheap Asus AM3+ Motherboard a 680 and a 32” Tv at 736p

Two 970 should do the trick in terms of GPU horsepower.

I´m planning to game only in one monitor, for a single monitor at 1080p a single 970 should be enough?

 

I forgot to add, I´m not planing to OC anything in my sistem and SLI is out of question

Why don't you want to do sli?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Temps, the psu that I already have is 600watts, the chipset (H97) doesnt allow for SLI

Single 970 is good enough for a single 1080p monitor. If you want to game of triple monitor or higher resolution you need more power. The first thing you should do when getting a new GPU is to overclock it. Most cards are designed to be overclocked. If you can have the card 10% faster for free why not do it? It doesn't harm the card..
