Hello fellow forumers, I am somewhat between a rock & a hard place to decide on up rig's upgrading path... whether to get a Z97 based SLI ready motherboard, a new CPU & another GTX760 OC (reusing the rest of the parts like HDDs, RAM, PSU, Casing etc) OR just get a new GTX970 from a number of known vendors like Gigabyte, ASUS, Palit & others. Any suggestions & help will be appreciated. *bows*
P.S: Voting on a poll I added is optional.

I would go with a single GTX 970. The performance of SLI GTX 760 and a single GTX 970 are about the same and 4 GB VRAM will be better for future games even at your 1080p resolution.

If you do go with the 970 then I highly recommend the MSI GTX 970 Gaming card.

List your current pc but most probably the answer will be a single 970 (a single card is always better than two cards)
