If im currently using a AMD Phenom 2 x4 965(3.4), 8gb Ram and an Radeon HD 6870, and im looking to move into GTX 970 for a graphics update would my system hit a bottleneck or would i be fine?

Thinking about what i want/need for x-mas this year all i can think of is a new video card. I currently have a AMD Radeon HD 6870, its quite old and i feel its the only thing holding me back from enjoying the upcoming games like Farcry and Dragon Age at high to max settings. I would say my...

I have an old CM stacker 830 and was looking into replacing it and saw the new COOLER MASTER CM Storm Series Trooper case was pretty much a modern version of the old stacker style cases. Has anyone heard anything bad about this case, i can't seem to find many people who have built rigs with it...

Got about 800 to upgrade my CPU, MoBo, Ram, Video card and possibly a new case. My old PSU and HDD should be fine for a new system. Any thoughts on whether to go AMD or Intel these days? I also might have to finally retier my Win XP, since i will most likely be getting DDR3 i doubt my limit on...
