Basically the title. I dont have a budget for any graphics cards, go wild. (try to exclude the 980 + 980ti and all titans though please). I just want peoples opinions on different graphics cards, cant ask my mates because they are all morons who only know the word Titan.
As for VDU, i would like to triple display, but i only want to spend £300 tops for monitors, so a dual display is more likely, although i can go a little over if its worth it (Although i said this, still try to keep it within 300). Also looking for 21.5" mainly, and a low (ish) response time if possible.

Needed(?) specs
i5 4690k
Corsair cx 600w (shitty, i know)
MSI Gaming 5 mobo

Oh, also, My whole set up theme is red and black

what? go mad but not with a 980Ti/Titan X
OKAI
so you would rather go SLI 970 over a 980Ti? your post makes no sense.
As for monitors, 4K over 3 way surround all day every day.

Im not going SLI if i get dual monitor. Regarding the triple monitor part, yea i would SLI, but my wording sucks. Anyway, what monitor exactly? If i was to single display, then i kinda want like a 27" curved 4k. Also im fairly sure (Not 100%) that i cant get a monitor like that for £300

You won't be getting a curved 4k panel for anything near that...

You could get 4k for that, just not curved. If you want curved, get a 1080p curved Ultrawide, they are awesome pickups.

If you're going ultrawide, just go 3440x1440. I wouldn't bother with a 2560x1080 panel as they're just not as good. Sure, you can get them pretty cheap, but I'd take a 1440p panel over a 2560x1080 ultrawide. You won't be able to get a curved ultrawide for under £300 anyway, as far as I'm aware. Nor will you be able to get a very nice 4k panel for less than £300.

I'd take a look at these;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Or this, if you want 1080p;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You could get 3 x 1080p panels for a little over your budget, I wouldn't really recommend it though. I used 3 panels and got sick of it pretty quickly, a single monitor at a higher resolution is better IMHO.

If you can't afford a 980Ti, you clearly have a GPU budget and we obviously can't help much without a budget to work with.

This makes no sense?
