2600k vs 3470s

[mr anderson]

It would be $100 more for the 2600k but I would upgrade in the future to a newer platform rather than z68, I am upgrading my gpu to an 970 from a 650ti for 1080p gaming.

 

Will there be a huge difference in gaming performance?

 

I am limited to a friendly budget , yet I only need to upgrade at this point. I am hesitant on the $300 price tag (cpu+gpu) I would like to just get the GTX970 for $200 for now and then upgrade later

The 2600K would be better but it's not a bottleneck that much compared to your current 3470s

but with the gtx 970 would it even bottleneck? plus i plan to upgrade the full system later on.

I'd just stick to the 3470s. Base clock might seem low, but the turbo clock isnt that bad. 970 isn't that powerful anyway.
