Cheapest GTX 970 is already $449. You add Ram/OS $100/$110 and already more then 1/2 your budget gone

Yup, i was guessing that would be the case and i actually was aiming the zotac gtx970 (449). Any ideas on the rest? Up to $1.2k also no prob but most impt must be able to accomodate gtx970. Thanks very much for your comments so far!

Since i'm an amateur at this, like to ask how long this config is likely to last in gaming? Say at least for future games at medium settings at the very least. Say 2yrs or fewer?

If u gaming @ 1080p this will most likely last u 2-3 years , should not be a issue to game next gen games on high settings.
