Okay so I've got a buyer for my current rig (see sig) due to not using it nowhere near as much and also I'm getting rid of my 4k monitor and going back to 1080p so a cheap card can do when I play a game every now and then. I've managed to bag myself a i7-3820 build with quite some good specs for £400 which isn't bad all I need is a GPU Ideally I want to spend £150 which looking at second hand I could get a 780 Ti is an option. £200 I really don't want to spend I'm looking at most the £180 for strix 970. if it were you what would you pick? also looking at the rx470. so it would more than likely boil down to 470 vs 970.
 
Cheers for the response guys but I've managed to bag myself a 780 Ti for £100 evga reference which I personally love the ref type cards. the original pc I mentioned at the beginning of this post has gone. but I've got my eyes on another one for £400 so for £500 I've got myself near a grand extra in the bank and a pc that can do solid 1080p gaming for when I play a game and then that's just for an hour or two. so quite happy myself :D
