my current system has r9 280x crossfire and i am looking forward to buy a asus rog swift as my next monitor
so the problem is my cards will not support gsync
and so i am thing to sell of my r9 280x graphic cards and buy a gtx 970 for now and get the monitor and after 2-3 months get another gtx 970 to sli

I doubt you will need two 970's in SLI. Are you just gaming with them?

yeah, I'd do it. Just make sure you can sell your cards for a good price :) 
might be worth waiting for a 'freesync' monitor if you want a similar experience without the hassle of selling & buying.

The 280x crossfire will be faster than a single 970, do you currently have issues with vsync? Your new monitor is going to be running at 144Hz so unless you plan on running most of your games at a higher frame rate than that at 1440p you probably won't be needing to use vsync/gsync. If it was me I would save my money and stick with what you have.

It all comes down to whether you want to save money or not.

i will buy a second gtx 970 soon and i think 970 sli on a gsync 1440p 144hz would be something very powerfull and beautifull
