Depends on the game but overall I think you'll be good.

Totally fine. Recommend you going for AMD processor such as FX6300 or 8300

the 6300 would bottle neck the 970 like hell and the i5 beats it

Totally true.

He didn't posted the budget so I just recommended him the cheapest cpu that can least "handle" gtx 970.

Tbh, playing game at High setting will save you a lot of money than aiming for Ultra.

always, greed is the one ruining people.

 

Recommend to wait AMD's response to Nvidia's 900 series.

AMD have good GPUs also.

 

Just aim for high setting if the budget is lower than $1500.

Bottle necking the computer will not last you long enough.
