Hello! I have an i5 2500k @ 4Ghz (can also OC to 4,5Ghz) and GTX 570. I wonder if GTX 970 would be good idea to upgrade my graphics, so here's my questions. Will my CPU be sufficient to run GTX 970? Will I be able to run the newest games on max settings with ~60 FPS? I play on 1680x1050 resolution.

LOL, that GTX 970 is designed to run stuff at 4k. So it should defiantly be able to push 60fps ULTRA everything! (I'd recommend DSR on old games also.)

Your cpu should be fine, it's still a good i5. I doubt it will bottleneck but if so then just up it to 4.5 and you'll be set.
