Hi guys,

Just after some general advice. In your opinion, for a Windows 10 pc, what would be the next logical step up from an Nvidia GTX 970 without busting the bank.

I've not really got an interest in going above 1080p if that makes a differance.

Thanks.

Bags of choice at 1080p. Personally would go s/h 2060/2070 super or wait for 3060 for more futureproofing.
 
It would help to know the rest of your specs, just to have an idea if your going to be bottle necked or not e.g. CPU, RAM, PSU etc.

What monitor do you use exactly, I know 1080p but is it high refresh rate? (120Hz+) and what sorta games do you play?

I've got an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.40GHz
My monitor is a Acre S271HL which I know isn't brilliant with 80kHz horizontal refresh rate and 75 Hz vertical.
12Gig or Ram, and I'm not sure about the PSU without opening up my PC.

Thanks.

I'm a bit out of the loop but imo the best upgrade you could do would be a gfx card that can run games at 240fps and pair that with a 240hz monitor, not sure your current cpu would cope as I said before I'm not up to date but the monitor would give you a massive upgrade in games.
