So happy I didn't splurge on a 980.
Yeah, 970 was minimum I could tolerate in my new build and I wanted a slight bit more ooomph, but I figured since I was doing 1200/1080p and 60hz, then I should wait for something more than the 980/980ti, to make it worthwhile to go with a better monitor setup. I can just adjust settings down since most stuff is console port quality anyway. I kinda just want to jump straight into 4K and skip 1440p entirely so I'm thinking this next gen is still not enough for me. Still, I'm happy that it's a decent jump.
I don't see much point in myself getting crazy for 4K or high HZ yet since I don't have a great deal of xtra income (I'm not spending $$$ doing SLI or buying prototype quality $700 monitors with crazy light bleed).
