Just wondering what would go good with my i5-4670k. Currently using an R9-270X and I want something faster for the upcoming games. Please post suggestions and thanks!
 
What's your budget? GTX 970 is $329.99 and slightly more for some oc non reference models. Is that over your budget?

I'll say this, if that's over his budget, then he should buy nothing. The only card that's a sizable upgrade over the 270x is the 970 or 290

That's true, so that really brings me to only 2 options for the OP

1. Get the GTX 970
2. Get a second 270x for crossfire.
 
the crossfire route isn't a bad idea at all.

270x xfired isn't bad performance, and should be cheap.
 
Get a used 290x for 300.

Edit: Nvm, just realized that gtx 970 runs as well as a 290x. In that case, I agree with everyone and say you should get a new gtx 970 or buy another 270x for CF if you're on a budget.
