Hey guys so, right now I have a Msi twin frozr r9 270x 2gb GPU. This does the job, but not as well as I would like it too. I would like to play AAA titles at high and or ultra/max settings and get a steady frame rate.

Games I play: Battlefield 4, Battlefront, Arma3, Arma2, DAYZ Standalone, and some casuals here and their.

I know that Bohemia interactive games ( Arma and DAYZ) use only 30% of your GPU and most of it CPU so I also need a great gaming CPU.

My budget is around $400. I need a new CPU and GPU for high/ultra 1080p gaming.

if you can recommend any GPU's and CPU's please comment below, I need help!

Hey, I have the AMD FX(tm)-4170 Quad-Core Processor. and I've been looking at the 970 but I don't know if I can afford it if I have to upgrade my CPU to avoid bottlenecking. If you have any other GPU's in mind that is better than the MSI twin frozr r9 270x 2gb, that would be of much help as well. Thanks for responding as well!

Thanks so much dude! I was actually looking at the website and none of the reviews were below a 4.5 out of 5 stars. I've actually never heard of GALAX, but now I think I may be a customer. Haha. Thank you so much and keep on doing what your doing!

No problem! Currently running that card myself and I must tell you it is an absolute beast. Never goes above 70 degrees ceslius on a full benchmarking load and also has a higher clock speed than almost all 970 configs on the market. It OCs like a champ too. OC'd mine to beat most 980's ;)
