so this is my build so far http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/Tctzpg

I will be building this soon. I was wondering if I could cut my budget a bit because It's a bit on the "too much" side of things, so I was wondering, If the gtx 970 is really worth it? I was original going to go for the gtx 770 at around £200, but can any one who has a similar set up tell me what kind of fps I will get in games?

I play games like battlefield 3/4, call of duty (mw2,mw3,blops 1,blops 2, ghosts), dayz and counter strike

also, what will my advantages be when I overclock in the future, I'll be adding an after market cpu cooler later on

GTX 970 is an amazing card, it will be able for higher res gaming in the future and also it can OC to 1500 mhz!!! (MSI version) It is more power efficient that the 770 and overall a better card. Now the 770 is still a great card but the 970 is much better if you can afford it, the 970 beats a 780 and nearly a 780ti!

Also in BF4 you will get solid 60-80FPS on ultra with no drops below 60 IMO

It can get about 35 fps more than the 770 and the 770 is only like £50 cheaper..also, the 970 has 4gb vram when the 770 only has 2gb.

anyway, how do you know it's not worth it?
