Hey all, I built my own computer before entering post-secondary (about 5 yeras ago). I've upgraded a few small things along the way (RAM, HDDs, CPU-cooler) but for the most part I've been limited by a very tight budget. Now, as a productive member of society I finally have a stable income. First things first, I want to upgrade my graphics card. Thinking EVGA GTX 970, but am open to other options. Is there anything else I could upgrade that would make a big difference? I've been out of the "build loop" for a bit. Price-wise, I'd like to stick to the $300-$450 range for GPUs.
I'll list my build below:
-
ATX full-tower (Fractal Define XL)
-
Sabertooth Z77
-
Intel i7-2600
-
Carsair H80i
-
G-SKILL 16GB
-
EVGA GeForce GTX 570 ti
-
4 HDs (3 HDD, 1 SSD for OS)
-
Can't remember the PSU, and I'd have to remove it from the case to check... But it's either 1000W or 1200W.
Also, I should probably note that I'm located in Canada for pricepoints.

Thanks for the clarification, that saves my wallet some hassle then.
