Basically as the title reads, just torn between the two, i know that the 970 is an old card but does perform rather well for its age.

Open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

That is a huge processor increase over the FX 6300.
The i7 should last you a long time as newer games are using more cores.
As stated above the GTX 970 is still a good card and very close to the 1060 3gb performance.
I still use a GTX 980 with a 1440p monitor resolution with no problems.

Cheers for the fast responses, just thinking about it the i7 automatically seems like a better idea, however stated above it is quite an old card, i suppose i can always switch out the card at a later time.

Processor: Intel Core i7 6th Gen. i7-6700
Memory: 8Gb ram
Storage: 1Tb + 128Gb SSD
Operating System: Windows 10 64bit
Optical drive: DVDRW
Communication: N-WiFi and Bluetooth installed
Graphics: nVidia GeForce GTX 970

They are the full specs, of the i7, i only really play games like csgo, fortnite and pubg.

Would be a great upgrade from my current AMD FX6300 & R7 370 4gb build.
