The other would be either an Asus Strix or a Gigabyte G1.
I'm set on getting a 970gtx.
Psu is a corsair 750tx which is fine.
I'm looking at 1080p.

I'm not looking to go for a R9 290x.
I'm wanting to upgrade now because gta v is a bit sluggish and I want to be sorted before Witcher 3 as my 6950 seems to be just below minimum an I want to enjoy the witcher 3 visually.
Your opinions are much appreciated even if they do not fit my criteria.
