Hey guys just signed up here. I am currently running an AMD FX 4300 and EVGA Geforce 970 FTW GPU, and of course a 750w PSU. I am curious if the bottleneck I heard I have is "detrimental" or not since I primarily game with my PC. I received the card as a gift and know my CPU needs upgrading. If I were to upgrade what would be my best route? I'd love to go with an i5 but having to buy a whole new board can get pricey. I do have 8gb DDR3 ram so from what I understand I can utilize the ram with the new board? My current board is a cheap Sata 2 Gigabyte. Also will I need a new hard drive if I switch to Intel?
Maybe it's easier to just get a higher end AMD processor but I heard they can get hot enough to heat a room compared to Intel CPU's.
Somewhat new to building PC's so I appreciate your help.
