I tried searching old threads and found that i5 3470/i5 3570/i5 4440/i5 4460 pairs very well with GTX 970. I am unsure though if it is still the case as the threads ive seen are from 2014-16.
I currently have the below parts
AMD A6 5400k
GTX 970 4GB
4GB DDR 3 1600mhz
Corsair VS450
The cheapest available upgrade for me will be the i5 3470 as used 3470 comes pretty cheap now and I can still use my RAM and just add some in the future. I can also add additional 8GB of RAM if i get this 3rd gen. I will also upgrade my PSU once i sell the AMD cpu and mobo. I want to make sure that I will not encounter any issue in the future. Will it be okay to get i5 3rd gen or i5 4th gen?
My monitor is 1080p, computer will be used for Dota2, CSGO, TEKKEN 7 and other PS4/XBOX games available in PC, running virtual machines, productivity (browsing, streaming, HTPC etc)
I've read also that gtx970 is still powerful for today's games so I want to know your feedback with the processor im about to choose.
