Graphics Card For Bundle

[RobMunfy]

Hi,

Can someone recommend a gfx card to go with the following bundle:

- CPU: Intel Core i5 4690K 3.40GHz Haswell Quad Core CPU overclocked to 4.2GHz (4790K upgrade optional)
- Motherboard: MSI Z97-G43 (Socket 1150) ATX Motherboard
- Cooler: H100i
- RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

I think my budget is about £250 but willing to look at alternatives if this amount will cause a bottleneck.

I don't really play particularly intensive games - CSGO is about the only game I'm playing at the moment.

Cheers

If you are willing to spend a little bit more, I'll go for the GTX 970

Have you already got the memory? as you can get faster stuff for similar price, also the 970.

1 x Palit GeForce GTX 970 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £251.99

I already have memory - it came in the bundle from OCUK. Just can't remember the exact type off the top of my head!

I see there are 2 GTX 970s in the This Week Only deals:
Palit GeForce GTX 970 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Palit GeForce GTX 970 JetStream 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Any advice on which of these would be better for me?

The Jetstream is slightly overclocked and will have a quieter cooler.

 

[RobMunfy]

JetStream it is then. Thanks

JetStream, or if you can go that bit further, MSI is well worth it.
