Upgrade Suggestions
Current Build:
AMD Fx 8350 8-core ~4GHz
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1866
MSI GTX 970 2GB Ram
Gigabyte 970A-D3P Motherboard
1TB HDD
250GB SSD

Any suggestions on upgrades without breaking the bank?
I believe my GPU is pretty good already, i feel like my processor is fucking over my fps sometimes...maybe i should get an I7?

Your CPU is not in anyway fucking over your FPS, check utilizations of your GPU when on a game, I guarantee you there will be no bottleneck since I have literally almost the exact same setup as you (Same ram, GPU and CPU). Also you definitely do not need an i7 not to mention that would need you to buy another motherboard so it's probably best to stick with an AMD CPU if you do want to upgrade that.

Also are you sure that is accurate because I don't think you can get a 970 with 2GB of memory.

Dunno why I put 2GB, so used to the lower tier cards, I have 4GB. :P Whoops.

Definately get and i5-4690k with an msi z97s Krait Edition(great value). Maybe as a great cooler for OC is the Cooler Master 412S. Used it as a set and it was a huge approvement!
