SHOULD I DO IT?

[Invictus84]

I say why not go for it.  You can probably dump the 970 on eBay and sell it to offset a good percentage of the upgrade...so if you have the spare cash and want it, why not?

HEY INVIC: U'r right, I'll start buying parts to build a SUPER COMP. Sell my comp with the 970 & have what I'm looking for.
Wouldn't be easier to buy a J3 and have fun in real LIFE?
Wishful thinking.
Again TY

If you're going to sell your computer, I suppose you might get a better price by selling the 970 and the Dell separately. After all, the PSU is a little underpowered for the 970. Selling them separately would also give you two happy customers instead of one who'd fry his PSU in a year...

Hey BIZ: Right on, I may stay with the present comp till it Kabooms,
then go for the New Comp.

I was actually thinking it the other way around: Save the 970, get rid of your current computer for a reasonable price and build a dedicated modifiable SUPER gaming rig around your existing 970. It is a very good card. Then someday when you feel you'd need a little more oomph, upgrade the 970 to whatever is the best bang for a buck at that date.

Also, the Dell you now have has some value without the 970 as a reliable banking/surfing/e-mailing/office computer.

HEY BIZ: On the track, thanks.

This.   The perfect advice.
