Recommendations for a guy in need

[TheFox]

I currently have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, and it has come to my attention that i need to upgrade because of newer games and lacking support.

The problem is that i really don't know which graphics card i should buy. I am currently thinking of buying a 970,  but i have no idea which 970 is best or even if i should go with a more OP card.

 

I currently run 2 screens at 60 Hz 1080p (FHD), but i am thinking of getting a third screen.

I mainly play Minecraft while modding it to the brink of destruction, but i also play a Skyrim, BF3, GTA 5, CSGO, Siv 5 and Half life 2, and i am thinking of getting some newer games like BF4.

 

So what i'm looking for is a card that can support my current games and modding while having support for newer titles. Money really isn't too big of a problem, but i am not the guy to buy a extremely overkill card if i don't need it, but i am thinking that a bit over what i need is OK. 

 

The problem (as i mentioned earlier) is that i don't know which model is the best , and that's why i'm looking for advice here.

 

How quiet the card is isn't that important, but it's always nice with a quieter computer.

Also color matching doesn't really matter as i have a closed case with no matching colors already.

 

I'm not only looking at performance but features in general.

 

So, some advice would be nice

280X or 970 if you want to spend a bit more

ASUS/MSI/GB 970 if you run two monitors.

ASUS/MSI/GB 980ti if you run three monitors playing the whole game across them.

Would say 970 (SLI: If performance isn't good enough with one), but since you are clearly a Skyrim Modder, you'll need the full 4gb later.

Therefor: I recommend 980

What is your CPU?

R9 290(x) is a good buy, especially at the moment before AMD announce their new lineup, they've been dropping in price quite a bit, plus they have a full 4GB (in some cases 8GB) of ram.

On the green team, the 970 is probably a safe choice, but if you want to spend a bit more for a little more performance the 980 will be a reassuring choice. You could just OC the 970 and get near stock 980 performance however.

Well a 970 would suit your needs right now. And they overclock very nicely up to close to the same performance as a 980 (stock) plus they are the best price to performance nvidia wise. 

 

But you did say money isn't really an issue, so if you want a bit more 'future proofing' then just get a 980Ti aha, but you really wont need it for 1080p @60Hz, and if you did want more perfomance later down the road then you could always grab a second 970, JayzTwoCents released a video yesterday which would probably help you out a lot:

OK, from what I've seen I'll probably go with a 970 , but what model do you suggest?
saw someone suggest ASUS/MSI/GB, but i would like to hear more on that
