thank a lot for your help guys i appreciate it i dont have the money for a new rig so i think i am just gana go for a gpu upgrade and get a 1070 thanks again

so you dont think its a waste of money to get a better card like a 1070? I have overclocked the CPU to 4.3 ghz but dont have water cooler so i dont think i can push it anymore thanks for your reply I am just not sure if it is a waste of money to buy a 1080 or 1070 because of my CPU

Hi Guys I need some advice in regards to GPU upgrade, I have a Intel I5 4690k CPU, 16 gb ram and a gtx 970 and i am looking to upgrade the GPU. I understand that some games are more CPU intensive and other are more GPU intensive however I want to know which GPU i should upgrade to before my CPU would bottle-neck? for instance a 1070? thank you very much for your help BTW this website helps but not sure about its accuracy https://pc-builds.com/calculator/Core_i5-4690K/GeForce_GTX_970/0AQ0LElu/16/ regards

yea thanks that pretty much the conclusion i got so far but i might wait till December in hopes of further price drops

TBH that as much as i can afford at this time i have been delaying a build for a while so the prices would come down i even sold my ps3 to have some more cash so yea i dont think i can go about what i already have i personally dont know why people do not combine AMD and Nvidia and have not been able to find a lot of info on it but i guess it becuse people think it would cause problems i like setup 3 but i am worried about possible problems and ending up some random errors and crashes no one has heard of also to people like me who aint got lot to spend i think its a bit risky :-)

thats great thanks for your ideas, i am a student so money wise i am always on a budget :-)

thanks guys for your help, it seems to me you guys think the setup 3 would be a bad idea?

sorry what i meant was Nvidia graphic card not Intel hmm why do you guys think setup 1 is better???

what about the Palit GeForce GTX970 4GB ??? are they any good compared to the other ones???

i over clocked a core 2 duo e7400 from 2.8 to 3.1 on stock cooler because my room is very cold most of the damn time :-)
