My current setup is;
970A-DS3 Motherboard
AMD fx 4350 clocked at 4.2
GTX 970 ASUS Strix OC
branded 650w PSU
8GB ram
1TB 7200rpm seagate

I am certain my CPU is bottlenecking my GPU so I need to upgrade my CPU. I need some help in choosing which is the best to upgrade to. preferably AMD but as said below I can change.

In the event that switching to Intel is a better option I'm all for it. my price range for a new motherboard and processor for intel is 200 - 220 gbp (I can creep over that of course)

Like sense said, AMD is probably the better option. I would go with the FX 4130, 3.8 gigahertz, if it fits. Like he said could probably OC to around 5 so if I were in your shoes go for it.
