Go to solution Solved by Clyne,

Right now I feel as if the best choice would be the AMD FX 9590, it's the highest rated CPU I could find that fit within my price range and would be a huge increase in performance. I'm not confident that this is the best decision, so I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

NO

A 9590 will kill your 970 motherboard immediately and it's not worth it. Just get a i5 4690K+Z97 board.

So I am currently in the process of upgrading my PC part by part. I have already upgraded my gtx 650 to a gtx 970, and I am planning on upgrading my CPU next, so I could use some help in making a decision. 

 

Budget - $300 (I can go a little bit over if necesssary)

 

Current specs:

gtx 970

amd fx 6100

asrock 970 Extreme4

(Let's go on the assumption that my power supply will be adequate)

 

Right now I feel as if the best choice would be the AMD FX 9590, it's the highest rated CPU I could find that fit within my price range and would be a huge increase in performance. I'm not confident that this is the best decision, so I would appreciate some help. Thanks!

^ This. You NEED a 990 chipset to run a 9590.. Just go with an i5 4690k.
