Edit- nevermind, just realised the 970 on ebay is cash on collection only.

Really can't decide what to do now, should I get a 144hz monitor which is going to cost me over £200, and a GPU to match it another £200+ or do I stick to a 60hz monitor, there's a nice BenQ for £130 reduced from £200, along with a cheap GPU, R9 380's are as low as £150. That would be £280 all in whereas a better spec jumps up to around £400-450. Cost is not really an issue, it's just that gaming is not my number one priority, on the other hand I don't want to buy lower spec stuff and then in a year or two decide that I'm not happy with it and then I've wasted money because I've ended up buying things twice instead of just buying "future proof" stuff in the first place.

If you can game to your liking now save the money for something else.

If you feel you want to upgrade just buy the 144 panels.

We can't tell you to spend your money, only how to spend it.

We're not your mom.

That's always the problem. We all have the same questions, every time we buy ...anything.

However...both of the options you listed are the budget end of the spectrum, which makes it even harder to help with your decision.

Have a look at the world of monitors...well, the high refresh rate ones at least.
