OK so my dilema is this: i have $450 in christmas money. i do not know if i should buy a new graphics card, i was looking at the geforce GTX 970 superclocked, but i dont know if my processor will get choked down. every time i upgrade my GPU, it seems like i dont see a difference in frame rates. i was thinking about getting a intel core i7-5820k if i have to get a new processor. my screen resolution is 1920x1080 and i have a 27 inch monitor. Thanks! AMD FX-6300, sapphire radeon hd 7970 oc 3gb 8gb 1600MHz ram, etc.
