I think i have a descent rig but always want to improve, thinking about getting the asus gtx 970 but dont know if it would be worth it or upgrade cpu. specs are as follows

CPU: i5-4670
Motherboard: msi g87-41 pc mate
Memory: 8gb
GPU: zotac 760 2gb
PSU: 750w

thank you in advance

I like ultra settings and if your an everyday gamer i'd say it's worth it.

However, this is what I would do:

1. Sell that gtx 760 for around $200.
2. Get a good gtx 980 then SLI it in a few years.


Agreed. At least for me the gtx 760 would not be worth an upgrade.

However, if you do want ultra settings at 1440P or desire a solid 60fps all the time at 1080P then the gtx 970 is good.
