So I quickly made one and tell me what you think: (I changed a few things but you get a 970 which is kickass for gaming)

That card is way too much for my needs, I think the 960 you recommanded would be better for me

For AAA gaming on 2015 games and beyond I would highly recommend a 970 over a 960 especially if you don't need to sacrifice much for it. Spending a grand on a new pc then feeling like it's not all that much better than a ps4/Xone is a bit silly.
