So I currently have a GTX 760 and an A10 6800k.

I want to get an i7.

But I found a 7970 gpu for $194.

Should I save money and just get the 7970? I figured since it's AMD I'll only get a
10 frame bottleneck tops. How much of a bottleneck will I notice?

here is what you should do

1. stop wasting money on a gpu that is probably worse then the one you have now

2. get a processor that isn't garbage

3. profit

Stick with the GTْْْء,I think you should go for an FX 8350(Not sure it's called 350 though)

Honestly, stick with the 760, but possibly upgrade your cpu to a 760k

There isn't a point in upgrading a GTX760 to a 7970. Yours is a little under powered, and a CPU upgrade would be way better. You need a new motherboard with the CPU.

I've got TM87

Yours is a little bit underpowered, but theres no reason to waste money for another upgrade, you should just stick with the GTX 760

@Poni 760k and 6800k are same performance

I'm going to get the 7970. I don't do anything CPU intensive. I'll also overclock the CPU.

If you're going to be doing GPU mining, get a amd card.
If not, get an nvidia. Seriously.

Yeah.

I play BF4 and stuff like that. Nothing too CPU intensive.

You've also got to remember about mantle.

@Zang
if you are doing GPU mining, you go with a butterfly labs card.
seriously
AMD can't touch them for the price.

(Ex: their 10 GH/s miner costs 248 dollars
Their 1TerraHash (1000 GH/S) is 3k
but that is crazy fast.

"You've also got to remember about mantle."
You've also got to remember that the majority of gamers use nvidia cards, meaning games are more optimized for them.
If you have a GTX 760, you're set. Keep it.

Honestly, Zang is right

As nice as the 7970 is, it takes more power, more heat, and with the way it's going, needs more optimization these days

Stick with your current card, your problem is the CPU.

It's a GTX 760. Are you a 120 Hz gamer?

Side note
a 760 will normally perform at par with a 7970 when gaming, mainly due to Nvidia drivers being a bit less choppy.

Poni, that's so false.

A 7970 performs far better than a 760.

7970 pulls far ahead in COMPUTE performance
not in gaming, however.
