Wanting to spend around £300 on just one item, what would I be best off buying?

GFX card if you play games.

Mechanical keyboard.

GPU probably, what PSU are you using?

Everything looks good apart from the GPU. GTX 970 on the nvidia side or there are good offers around for the R9-290(x) series.

Maybe those two items could interest you.

Yeah I use it for playing games. Which keyboard would you suggest? I will probably buy a 970 then I'll save up around £100 for a keyboard.

I've been looking at the 970, is there a big enough performance increase to save up and wait longer and buy the 980 or is the 970 a good overclocker?

Already replied, the keyboard has £20 off its price and that GFX card is £30 off and 4 free games.

Thanks, really like the look of the keyboard. How does the GPU compare to the 970?
