So, I’m getting my brother’s old pc, AMD a10-5800k 4 core, 8 gb of DDR3 ram and an AMD R7 250 2gb gpu, and I want to upgrade the gpu, I saw some deals for a 970 on the used market but in know the cpu will bottleneck the 970, but my main concern is that in the near future I’m thinks of get a z97 mobo and a 4th gen i5 or i7, so should I get the 970 now and have it bottlenecked, or get a 960 and go with the cpu/mobo upgrade anyway?

i'd recommend getting the 970 and dealing with the bottleneck now and get a CPU upgrade in the future.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W
