770 to 970 question.

[Hemanse]

Before people start saying that it is a waste of money to upgrade from a 770 to a 970 .. Im gonna be building a portable gaming / media pc and instead of getting a 750 ti as i had previously planned, im thinking about getting a 970 Gigabyte or MSI non reference card (looks like they run 15-20 degrees cooler at load then the reference, wich is insane) and putting my 770 in the new machine.

 

My question is, what kinda setup will i need not to bottleneck the 770, my plans with the 750 ti was a i5 4590.

 

Were actually planning on maybe getting the 980, but where i live (Denmark) the 980 cost around 780$ and the 970 cost around 400$, wich is a pretty damn big difference.

i5 4590 would do the job unless youre playing dayz or arma

Why wouldn't it do the job for that? It's not like there is a cpu that will fair better for those games.

They are one of the only popular games that need a very strong cpu. they are very poorly optimised cpu wise

[Hemanse]

Seems like the i5 will do fine, will stick one of those in that rig, now i just need the right 970 to be available here, just the msi is in stock so far.

It is relative, Bottlenecks depends on what game/application you are running.

I know, it's pitiful how poorly the game runs I just meant to point out you said it like there is a option better suited for that task.
