Upgrade

Hi guys,
With the new Star Wars game and Fallout 4 coming out soon, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card in the next few weeks.

I'll be looking to spend between £250-£350 and was thinking of either the 390x or the 970.

Would the rest of my specs work ok with either option or would it be best to wait till I can upgrade the rest?

I also have a 24" Acer Predator monitor so was wandering if if was worth getting Nvidia so I can use 3d?

Thanks

Your 2500k is still good, overclock it for more power if u wish.

Hehe wish I could. Unfortunately mine doesn't seem to like being overclocked as keeps messing up whenever I try

Does anyone know which I should go for out of the 390x and 970?

24" monitor, id get the gtx 970, uses a lot less power, (your psu ? ) and smaller for case ?

Thanks Lemin.

Got an XFX 850w PSU so no power worries there. Just been looking and can see that the 970 has memory issues on some games so looks like the 390x may be the better choice. Need to check my case size wise but think it should be ok.
