[Wr0ngEnemy_]

So! My r9 380x nitro has some problem and im buying new MSI gtx 970 4gb but will my i5 750 bottleneck GPU if so on what GHz should i overclock CPU?

Your i5 is getting on in age, I don't think you can overclock enough to clear a bottleneck. In fact, your 380x is also probably bottlenecked by the i5 right now, it's about as good as a 970. It's not really an upgrade, and you'll face the same problem.

But can i get at least 60 fps high settings in gta 5 with gtx 970 and i5 750?

Doubtful. If you don't get that now you won't get it with the 970. Don't forget, your CPU is like 10 years old.

You will probably be 45-60 fps with that setup.

if your looking for 60 HZ gaming it should be fine crank the graphics settings up till it balances out and unloads the cpu a bit if you arnt looking for a 60 lock its a good cpu still if you are able to try to pick up a i7 870,875k or 880 and get a good speed boost without swapping everything else.

 

looked around more and if you overclock the snot out of it its might turn into a beast and do just fine for gaming in modern titles.
