I have been asking alot of people here but i am still getting no-where so can anyone please help me with this
here is my configuration:
CPU-fx 6300(not overclocked) at 3.5 ghz and turbo boost 4.1ghz

GPU-changing from r7 260x 2gb to GTX 970

Motherboard- gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2

PSU-Corsair VS550 550 Watt PSU

RAM-8gb(Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8 GB (1 x 8 GB))

Cabinet-Circle Gaming Series PC Cabinet CC-820

Is it okay if i just change my GPU to gtx 970,can i get like decent fps(50ish) with most of the AAA games on high settings like far Cry 4 and AC:unity etc

PS:I know my fx-6300 will bottleneck but as long as i get decent fps i really don't care and i do not intend to OC my cpu anytime soon

I was planing to upgrade my CPU to fx-8320(3.5ghz) with a new motherboard(as this one is old and cannot handle fx8 series) but that is costing me alot,so my question is it worth it?


Thanks :)

It's probably not worth the upgrade to the fx8320 and mombo.

In the charts you can see that the fx8320 is slightly to marginally better than what your current setup is. You'll probably see a slight gain in fps, but not a huge difference as most of the work load is threaded to the video card.

If you game and can't take the choppiness then you have to compromise with lowering your details, and shadows, and maybe resolution. The other solution would be upgrading, to the fx-8320 and using that for 1-1.5 years before you feel that choppy feeling in games again. The fx-8320 is 2 yrs old slightly faster, but its still slower than the 2600k and that's a almost 4 year old...
