Then I'll just buy a new motherboard when I get a new CPU. I can easily wait a couple months, so I'll wait and see how the Ryzen ends up then proceed to buy what's best. Any suggestions on a motherboard? Are they AMD/Intel specific?

Hi, I believe to have made a mistake on my first pc build. I was suggested to get an AMD FX-4300 Vishera Quad-Core 3.8 GHz along with the MSI 970A-G43 Plus motherboard. I now read online that the capacity of AMD cpu's will restrict your higher end gpu's compared to Intel. There can potentially be a difference of 30 FPS. Now I'm not sure what is considered a high end gpu in this case, but I currently have a GeForce Gtx 960 4GB G1 Gaming OC edition (Gigabyte). I also eventually plan to upgrade both cpu and gpu. Should I switch over to Intel? If I do, I'll also have to change motherboard as I don't think Intel is compatible with my current one.
