i have an amd fx 8350 and a gtx 960 4gb with 12gb ram running at 1600mhz and with my games running on a hybrid sshd. in some of my games im getting lower and unstable framerates. the games i notice it on is doom, watchdogs, witcher 2 and 3 and black ops 3. all the games are running on a sshd with the exception of doom and black ops 3 which are on an ssd. for some reason i cant get these games to run at a stable 60fps 1080p without dipping below medium settings or scaling back my resolution even tho the nvidia app and the games auto setting suggest the game should be running at a higer detail level. is it a certian part of my pc which is holding it back. ive tryed overclocking the cpu from the defult 4.0 to 4.3 and mildy overclocking my gpu but to only get a mild framerate increace. what should i upgrade first/ what could be causing the lower framerates.
Whats Bottlenecking my system? what should i upgrade?

Doom and Witcher 3 are demanding games. A 970 can't run those at 60 fps at 1080p. I would upgrade to the 490 or the 1070 will be able to run those well.
Overlooking the cpu and gpu will help a touch, but you will have to scale things back. Also, try running without AA and v sync

Fair enough i suppose. ive put the cpu to 4.4 now and ive overclocked my gpu (dont ask about how much i just followed a how to on youtube) and ive tryed both doom and watchdogs again and got a 5fps boost. i was just concerned as the in game auto-settings and the gforce app where suggesting to me that it should be running better than it is, obviously its just over estimating my hardware then. got doom at 1080p medium at 60 just scaled the resolution down to 80% as it lookes better than 900p and watchdogs now works at full 60 at just above medium settings. gonna try bo3 and witcher next.
so would you recomend me just upgrading to a 1070 or 980 in the future then? will i need to change my cpu if im running a 1070?

The 1070 will be a much better bang for the buck at 1080p. That thing is the equivalent of a 980 Ti essentially. You will be set at 1080p for a while.
You shouldn't need to upgrade the CPU for the 1070. You might have a little bottleneck, but pushing 1080p isn't super hard with that card.
