Exactly. CPU Bottleneck is an over-worried issue. It simply means your GPU could possibly do better with a faster CPU. And then usually only in CPU limited games. Most modern A Class games are GPU limited anyway. If there's a CPU upgrade in your future, get the fastest card that you can afford and your PSU can handle.

I wouldn't worry about it honestly. Take a look into overclocking your cpu. Either card is great, just stick with what you can afford. I ran a 780gtx on a Core i3 no problem. Sure I could get more frames from a i5, but it still ran great.

    if you havent bought FX 6300 yet , get Core i5 e.g. i5 4590


    What if i downgrade to an r9 - 290?


    i would be happy even with R9 290 , under the condition that is much cheaper than GTX 970

    Stay with the GTX 970. You may want to upgrade your CPU to an FX-83xx in the future.

    I have a budget and getting that CPU and a new motherboard goes over my budget

    FX 6300 will bottleneck GTX 970 . So , you may have to overclock the FX 6300 .


    It takes a ridiculous difference in CPU power to GPU power to bottle neck
