I want to upgrade to a GTX 970 and I was wondering if the rest of my system would bottleneck it too much. If so, what CPU would you suggest upgrading to? I'm looking for something just good and cheap enough to keep up with the GTX970, so ideally I'm looking for something with the same architecture. After the GTX 970, I'll likely upgrade my whole rig. Is it worth upgrading to the GTX970 without a CPU upgrade?
My goal is to upgrade enough to comfortably keep up with the current consoles (PS4/One). A GTX 970 does that, and I just want to make sure the rest of my rig can accommodate.
Many thanks for any advice. I used to know this stuff like the back of my hand but have been out of the game for some time.
