Hi, I am upgrading my PC. I have two new Kingston 8GB 1866mhz RAMs, my aunt is travelling to the US (I live in Argentina, things are more expensive here) and I'm buying through Amazon a GTX970 and an i7 4970k on Saturday so she brings them on her way back. I currently have an Asus m5a78l-m lx3 motherboard, a AMD FX6300 six core 3.5ghz processor. Doing some research I found out that my processor is ok, but will bottleneck the gtx970, and that I can't use the i7 on my current motherboard. My question is, which one should I get? I've looked up a bit but I'm unfamiliar with motherboards and I don't wanna spend a lot of money if I don't have to. I can buy a Maximux VII Hero, but I don't really know if it is too much, certainly appears to, and I don't wanna spend all my money. I also need a new power supply given that I have 400w.
Finally, my budget is around $700 for the mobo and power supply. I would like to have some spare money to get a SSD
If I miss any info please let me know, thank you very much in advance!
