Go to solution Solved by HKZeroFive,

How about a i5 4690k? My Mobo is unlocked

 

If you don't mind spending a bit more, sure, go for it.

My CPU seems to bottleneck my GPU a little. The CPU at 100% and the GPU at 80%

I have $100 CAD I can spend at CanadaComputers.com If I don't spend the money on mire necessary components I might buy a nicer looking case.

My question is what should I upgrade? Should I upgrade right now? Anything I should add to it (more storage, mechanical keyboard, etc.)?

A Pentium G3258 and GTX 970...haven't heard of that before.

 

Definitely try and save up for a new CPU. Maybe something like a i5 4460?

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
