Hello gamers (most of u are rich and not like me ) I am just 16 year student
My uncle is visiting us next month and told he would buy me a ps4 because I complain everyday that my PC is $h*t doesn't run any game properly
But yesterday gtx 970 released I was so glad for the price but when checked out in my country its almost 500$ so I am thinking of telling my uncle not to bring a ps4 instead buy gtx 970 as it the more or less same price
So my main concern is will a fx 6300 at stock bottleneck gtx 970
Ya I know it will bottleneck but will it be only 1-5 GPS drop or will be a pain in my @$$
And ya I want to upgrade my psu also so pls suggest me a good cheap psu
Note : pls don't tell me to switch to Intel I know Intel is better but I don't have money
I can't upgrade to fx 8350 because my motherboard doesn't support it
I can oc the amd chip if you guys suggest by buying any after market cooler
Sorry for a long description, just wanted u guys to know my situation
So thanks in advance

An overclock would be fine for now and will get you through the period you need to save up for a new cpu, preferably an i5/i7 or the 8350. A 4.x GHz overclock is suitable to left the bottleneck for a while.

To answer your question fully I'd need to know what country you live in for pricing. Assuming you don't need any more than 450W for your power supply I'd recommend the Antec VP-450. Can you tell us what model your motherboard is?

The FX 6300 might be a bottleneck, depends on how demanding the game is because your GPU will pick up a LOT of the slack. Overclocking is the best patch until you can get a better CPU. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is a decent cooler, but if you can pay a bit more the Xigmatek Dark Knight II SD1283 is much much better.

Honestly, the PS4 might be your best bet. It has a lot of power and you won't have to worry about mixing and matching parts again, and you will get an ever-expanding list of games that are guaranteed to work on a much larger screen.
