Upgrading Rig

[Moress]

Budget (including currency): $300-600
 

Country: USA (Michigan)
 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, mostly playing Rust, Escape from Tarkov, Last Oasis, Fallout 76, Bannerlord. Little bit of everything
 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 


I'm looking to upgrade my current rig. I'm running an I5-4590, GTX 970 and 4x4 1600mhz DDR3 ram.
At my local Microcenter I can get a Gigabyte B450m, R5 3600, and 16gb 3200mhz ram for about $300. 
I can also get a Rx 5700 for $330, but that would more than double the cost of the upgrade. My question is if my GTX 970 would be a massive bottleneck to the games I mentioned above and if the cost of upgrading to the specifically 5700 would be worth it?

For the games you listed, the 970 would probably be just fine. If you did want to save a bit, could just grab the 5600 xt or the 1660 ti or super

Ryzen 5 3600 and a 5600 XT would be ideal as that would give you 2060 performance for 1660 money

by changing cpu, motherboard and ram and keeping your old gpu, you'll get rid of any micro-stutters, lags and low frames you might have, but you won't increase your average fps by more than 10-120%, unless you change gpu as well.

similarly, if you keep your cpu and upgrade gpu, you'll get higher average fps, but you'll start getting fps drops, stutters and lag because of the cpu.

Yea I was hoping to get everything at once at Microcenter and they're basically out of GPUs, but ordering a 5600xt and picking up the rest might be my route
