Just built my computer, what should I upgrade next? My build is a gtx 970, 4460 and a 900p. Should I get a better monitor, a better graphics card, or a overclock able processor and motherboard and windows. Or buy a sli capable motherboard and buy a second 970? Or a aud 500x to replace my beats solo hds? I'll be saving up, not buying now.

do you like your monitor? What about your other peripherals?

 

EDIT- Just saw the 900p, yah, go for a monitor. I definitely recommend an ips ultrawide.

Get a new monitor

If you do need to upgrade the 970 later, I'd go for a new GPU, otherwise you'll have to do a lot of work tearing out the motherboard

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

How much FPS would I lose jumping from 900p to 1080p? Sorry if it's a dumb question xD

not much, maybe 5-10
