Upgrade to a Pentium G4560?

Would upgrading to a Pentium G4560 from a FX 6300 be a smart choice? And would there be any bottlenecks with a Pentium G4560 and a 750 Ti. Yes I am aware that I will need a new mobo as well as ddr4 memory, that's not a problem.

Can't do it if you are planning on using the same mobo.  The FX6300 is an AMD chip and the Pentium G4560 is an Intel chip.  At a minimum you would also need to change your mobo.

I think with more on the horizon it should be fine to wait a bit longer.
