for lite 1440P yes. a game like BF4 needs a R9 390X/290X to be near maxed out. My 970 is fine for 1440P.

So if anything I would just need a better GPU then, right?

Yes the GPU would be able to push 1440p but you may want to upgrade to a 390 or 390X for the best performance. 

My Work in Progress PC http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/522048-xeon-build/ <-- That PC was built but never booted:(

A R9 390 would be great for you. Costs less than a 970 and performs better with more than double the VRAM of a 970.
