Hey guys,

I just upgraded my gpu to the gtx 970 and am finally at a sweet spot when it comes to hardware but being me i love to get new upgrades because i can never settle for what i got. Now i was wondering if anyone thinks it would be a good idea to upgrade my cpu to something else i have a i5 6400 2.7 ghz and ik its not great so i was wondering for some advice on what processor would be good!

Don't know why you have any issues with an i5-6400, what gave you the idea you should replace it? That CPU will run along with a 970 just fine. Sure you can get a bit better with a faster one, but I don't think you will see any benefit worth the cost or hassle.

Well MORE is always good but for everything there must be criterias you should specify. Specify your system specs for example (most importantly motherboard, RAM and PSU), and afterwards, you can specify a price range for a possible upgrade and then perhaps specify what kind of games you want to play, at what resolution (monitor type and refresh rate)?
