In all honesty it wasn't worth it to upgrade. You'll get basically the same FPS. Should have spent the money on a better GPU TBH.

i ll probably get a second 970 in the near future.+ i care about the looks also.i l would love to see 2 msi's 970 gaming in my case.

Sell the 970 and get either a 980/980 Ti.

 

Sometimes SLI isn't worth it.
