yup
however, i would recommend a R9 285 or lower gpu, as the cpu will bottleneck anything higher. that means gtx 760 or lower for nvidia
Would you recommend a better cpu as to not bottleneck the gpu? I am new to building my own computer, and on a budget, but would spending a little more for a better cpu be worth it?

would the 'Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9550 2.83GHz 1333MHz 12MB LGA775 CPU, OEM' (costs $30 more) be a worse choice than the 'AMD Athlon II X4 750K CPU - (Black) (Quad Core, 3.40GHz, 4MB, 100W, Socket FM2'?well, the athlon would need a new motherboard. if medium graphics are ok, the core 2 quad is fine.

Should i just stick with my GT 630 for the gpu and upgrade to the quad core for my cpu, since it will bottleneck the gpu is there a point in upgrading the gpu?

eh, up to you, if you can play on low settings till you get more money, then yes, get a new cpu and mobo, like an fx 8320

Bottlenecking is one of the most misused concepts on the forums.There is ONLY a bottleneck if the CPU is throttling at 100% Usage (above 90% can count also), that is when graphics cards are limited. If your current games you play do not get to that point, there is NO bottleneck.
If i am just playing Counter Strike: Global Offensive their is 100% use.
My current CPU is: Intel Core 2 duo CPU E7500 @2.9 GHz
GPU: GT 630
So it's probably just because my current PC is shit, but yes it gets to 100%

Get this -FX 8320
Gigabyte 970A-UD3P (8+2 phase power design! Great for FX OC, best 970 board for that.)
or
intel i5 4670/k
ASRock Z97 Extreme4 with "k" or ASUS H97-PLUS/PRO if you get the 4670.
intel option is more expensive.
Is the amd mobo going to last if i want to upgrade the ram or the gpu?
and any good "futureproof" (i know future proof doesn't exist) cheap-ish cases that you know of?

yes, the Gigabyte 970A-UD3P is an excellent board. It'll be great for later upgrades.Cooler Master HAF 912 is an excellent case for an excellent price. HAF -> High Air Flow.
Would it be better to go with a full case, I really don't want to have to upgrade it for a good while, or is there really no need? Thank you for the help.
