Should be great as long as your aiming for 1080p. Maybe wait for benchmarks on the 1070 to come out here soon, or buy someones used 980ti off of ebay, people are selling really cheap right now because of the new nvidia gpu's.

I agree with killswitch. yes you can wait for the older GPUs to be sold or even grab a 1070 when it comes out.

I picked up a second 980 ti hybrid with the led shroud for 440 today on ebay. :) I love when people get hyped about new cards.

We wont know until its release, the nda for the 1080 is up tomorrow, but no reviewers got any 1070's so we will have to wait until their release.

But is a used 980 worth it instead of a new 970? ive never bought a used card and it seems sketchy

Imho buying off of ebay and other sites is safe if the seller has a good rating and is flexible with returns. A big piece of advice though, record yourself unboxing your product if you buy used, give it a good inspection and test while still recording, so in the off chance that something was wrong on arrival you have evidence. And honestly that's up to you, a used 980 will cost about as much as a new 970, the 980 won't have vram issues and will perform slightly better than a 970, so if it were up to me i'd wait for the 1070 and see what all of the noise is about, by then used gpu prices will be much lower too. Patience is key.

the only reason im in somewhat of a rush is because the 970 is 285 until the 18th so I figured that is a steal.

would an i5 bottleneck a 1070 would you think. because an i7 is out of my budget if I were to get a 1070.

Bottleneck is a very relative term, but most likely no depending on which i5 you have.
