Which graphic card would be the best for me?

[The_Harv]

I'm building my first pc and I'm stuck on the graphic card and I can't decide which one would be the best.

 

Here is my system: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bNtYZL

 

Here are the 2 cards: 

 

1.) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-strixgtx970dc2oc4gd5

 

2.) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-100362vxsr

 

Right now I have a 720p T.V as a monitor, if I get one of the cards, I will be buying a 1080p or a 1440p gaming monitor.

 

I would like to get ultra/max settings for all the games I play which include

 

-spintires

 

-BeamNG.drive 

 

- Black ops 2

 

-Black ops 3 (when it comes out)

 

-Battle field 4

 

-Need for Speed: Most Wanted

You shouldn't buy a z97 motherboard for a 4460. Get an h97 or b85.

 

As for the gpu, the answer is neither. Either get this r9 290, which is priced as it should be, or get an r9 390.

i use sTRIX gtx 970, doing fine in 4k with max detail on BF4, Black Ops 2, NFS RUN.

The 970, because that price on sale is very good.

 

I also recommend getting a 144hz monitor, you could get the Acer XB270HU second hand/reburbished from shops for like 500$

I'd go with the 970. 

And also, you don't need a Z97 motherboard for an i5-4460 unless you plan on upgrading to a k series CPU later down the road.

The 970 can be overclocked quite far on most coolers, so personally I would go for that.

 

Out of the box, they arent very different performance wise (both very fast).

Yeah, down the road I will probably upgrade to the i5- 4690k or maybe even an i7 just so I can brag I have a i7 in my computer. Since this is my first computer, my first priority is just to get it running, that is why I chose the i5-4460 instead of the i5 4690k

I recommend you getting an hdd drive as 120 gb of ssd storage is not enough.

Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot to put that I will be using a 1TB hard drive from my current computer.  Would you recommend getting a WD 500 GB black hard drive to put all my games on? The SSD is going to be used for Windows 10

Get another 120 or 240 gb ssd to put your games on, increases loading times drastically

Okay thanks

BF4 with everything on Ultra with a 1440p monitor will need a 980 at the least. I would suggest getting a good 1080p monitor over a 1440p monitor unless you have the hardware to run it optimally. A 970 or 390 would be an equal comparison, but a 290 doesn't quite compare to a 970. I would suggest the 970 over the 290, but a 390 over both.

Get a 120gb ssd for os. Another ssd for more games you play and get a regular hdd for mass storage.
