Solution

You will limit the performance of the gtx 970 with the i3, So I would say 30-40 average (Cpu is the problem, you may experience cpu lag in some games).

To get 1080p 60fps (I'm guessing you want ultra or high), woul would need an entirely new pc (I5 at least, 8gb of ram , at least, and a GTX 970 won't max out everything on every title at 1080p and maintain 60fps , sou you would need a gtx 980 or the AMD competitor R9 390X). If you just want a gpu upgrade (my recommendation) get something like a gtx 750 ti (because it doesn't need extra power connectors(or get sth. from AMD that would work with your PSU ), and start saving for that new build.
 


first get a good 500w or better power supply


tier 1 or 2 from this list:

get a gtx 970



then as soon as possible you need to get an i5 ( your motherboard supports the i5-3570S) , and 8gb of ram


 


if i get one gtx 970 ,500w psu and 4gb of ram
then how many fps i would get
thanks for answer
