I am planning to buy gtx 970, but i don't know if i should upgrade my cpu because at 2.6ghz i think it will bottleneck the gpu.And i won't play games at the desirable fps.Any advice is welcome and helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Solution
i7 920 cpu
Is good but may bottle neck a little. I had it and upgrade to i5 4670k
It was a big improvement over i7 920
But if a choice of one or the other. I would keep the CPU and overclock as the 920 loves overclocking or atleast mine did 5.2GHZ and stable 70c.
And get your self the GTX970 It should take the work load of your old cpu
