My current cpu is the phenom ii x4 945 with an overclock to 3.75Ghz. I'm ready for a pc upgrade but it will still be under budget and will have to be a few parts at a time since I'm 16 and not making much money. Hoping for an end result of a gtx 970 with an i5 8400, and wondering if an fx 8300 would be a good match for the 970 in the mean time. Would it be better to skip over the 8300 entirely? Would it provide better gaming than my phenom? I would most likely be abusing it with an overclock since I wouldn't have it for too long (most likely 1-3 months). If the chip turns out to get me respectable frames with medium high settings on my favorite titles, I could hold off on the upgrade until needed.
Appreciate any help, thanks!
Games I will be playing most: GTA V, Rainbow Six Siege, Dead by Daylight
Current Setup:
CPU - Phenom ii x4 945 @ 3.75GHz
RAM - 8GB DDR3 1600
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P Rev 5
GPU - MSI GT 1030 2GH LP OC
PSU - a generic 350W Dell (replacing with CXM 550W ASAP)
