GTX 1070, GTX 1080, GTX 1080Ti... depends on your budget but all of these cards can run 1440p quite well.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Hello guys, I am currently running with a 970 and I feel like upgrading, what should I upgrade that is good and can run 1440p?

Depends on what games on what settings you want to play and your budget. Get a 1070 if you don't have 500$ for a 1080. If you don't have enough for a 1070 either, get the 1060 if you're ok with medium to high settings.

Second hand 980ti would work out too if you find a good pricing.
