MSI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670
Sandisk Extreme 120GB Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200Rpm

LG GH24NS90
Noctua NH-D14 Cooler
Antec High Current Pro HCP-850

Thanks for any advice. :d

GTX 970.

would that fit in that case with that big tower of a CPU cooler?. Also which version as there are a couple. I would want a 4GB and a Overclock easy as my gtx 670 is useless at overclocking.

970... & the Gigabyte G1 currently on offer gets my vote.

I bought this PC in February 2011 and not updated anything in it. Should I upgrade the graphic card or wait for a windows 10 PC system to come out?. Will it be still worth the graphic card up now?.

If for gaming the 970, windows 10 isnt going to matter

If you did go with the Gigabyte for example, you'd probably have to remove that middle cage whatever it's housing as the Gigabytes a long card, or alternatively go with one of the smaller 970's.

I've just upgraded from an MSI GTX 670 power edition to an MSI GTX 970 and the 970 is almost the exact same size. The only difference is that the 970 needs an 8-pin and a 6-pin power connector, although it does come with a cable that converts a 6-pin to an 8-pin so you're all sorted.

Really happy with the new card which is super quiet and the performance improvement is notable. I've gone from around 40-60fps in BF4 at ultra & 1080p to over 100fps most of the time. Running a 144Hz monitor so can notice the difference, it's now buttery smooth all the time and looks amazing.

Can also add that my 970 overclocks superbly and sits at 1527MHz on boost for several hours at a time when gaming.

Settings with MSI afterburner 4.0.0;

Volts + 87mV
Core + 185MHz
Mem + 500MHz
TDP = 110%
FAN = set to 70%, almost inaudible at this speed
Temps during BF4 = 58-62max

Also comes with some nice freebies.
