Hi

My Son has been after a pc for a bit. so i bit the bullet on the black friday special and got my self a new cpu and motherboard (i7 6700k hero mb bundle)


My Question is ive got about £300 budget to spend on a new card. im playing on 1920x1080 120mhz moniter

. do i give my 970 to my son and get a new one not sure what to go for?

or do i keep the 970 for myself, and buy a cheaper card or another 970 to give to my son?

thanks
 
Buying a cheap GPU for a 6700k seems rather a waste TBH.

Sorry i ment the 970 is going to him. he has my old pc (i5 3570) im looking at getting a new one.

Or do i keep my 970 which is in 6700k pc. and get a cheaper gpu or another 970 for the i5 .

The prices seem high for a new gpu at the moment unless i go amd route.

Im hoping to give him the 970 and i can get a better gpu

I was just seeing which is the best way to go.
 
only go to a 1070 or above.480 is pointless at your res.

some great deals about or wait till jan you will get cheapest 1070 for 300

i had a g1 and benched it at 1080 so can compare if you want with some games at 1080.
