FX is too old and crap

Gtx 970 is a bad investment

no.

Get an RX 480 8GB and an i5; it'll be better for the money you spend if you're only looking at 1080p.  Grab a nice ass case (I'd pick the Fractal Design Define R4) and you're golden.

 

With the extra few bucks, grab some games or something.
