Hi everyone,
I recently bought an Asus AMD r9 290 over the summer in mid August I believe and now I am unsure if I should upgrade to a gtx 970 or gtx 980. Is it worth the price difference? The max i think I can sell my asus r9 290 would be for around 200 dollars. Will there be much of a difference between the two? I currently game on one 1080p monitor, however in the future I hope to purchase a third monitor (I have two monitors right now) later on (Nvidia Surround of Eyeinfinity). Do you guys think I should wait for the 980 ti and r9 390x when they come out?

Thanks for all your help in advance.

It wont be much of an upgrade but the 970 is your best option the 980 is overkill for 1080p. I would wait if i were you the 290 will be good for a long time.
