FX8350 or 4590+mobo for GTX 970 ?

hi there

I'm trying to upgrade my build so that i can get the most out of my money, I'm also trying to build a computer that can run HTC reVive ( steamVR ) in the future, at the moment there are no official system requirements, but oculus rift requires a GTX 970 in order to work, and I'm quite sure that steamVR will require about the same level of GPU performance

my current build :-

processor : AMD phenom II x4 955 ( 4 cores, 3.2ghz )
cooler : cooler Master V6GT
motherboard : Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P ( Socket AM3+ )
graphics card : EVGA GTS 450
RAM : kingston 2x2GB DDR3 1333mhz
power supply : XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W Full Wired 80 plus Bronze

should i stick to my current motherboard and buy an (FX-8350 + GTX 970) for 4600 egyptian pounds now?, or should i just get the graphics card now ( even though my current processor will bottlneck it ) for 3100 pounds and wait for a few months and then get a cheesy H81 motherboard + i5-4590 for about 2000 pounds ?

and i want to clarify that I'm pretty much getting the GTX 970 just to be able to use steamVR, i was going for GTX 960 but there is no way that it could run steamVR sadly.

also I'm not really interested in this whole skylake + DDR4 conversation because IMHO i don't think i will affect gaming performance that much, I'd rather wait for it just for the discounts on the haswells/broadwells.

i hope you guys will help me with this little problem

thanks for your time

The i5 is going to perform 30% faster. I would not be to worried about DDR4 right now it provides no benefit to DDR3.

stick with current mobo and slap a fx 8320e or fx 8350 in there will be cheaper in the long and short term, and if overclocking just make sure to get the hyper evo 212 for better cooling they perform beautifully at 4.5-4.7 ghz, very simple to pull off on those processors
