Haven't been in the computer game since 2012 so I need a bit of help. I want to get a new GPU and PSU

I currently have a i5-3570K that isn't overclocked and don't plan to overclock, paired with a Asus Z77 Sabertooth mobo.

I want a GTX 970 of some sort and was curious if my CPU would bottleneck the GPU. Also should I be fine with a Corsair HX650 Gold?

Thanks

Yeah you are fine, your cpu won't hold it back. PSU is enough too.
You might come across a game that is more cpu bound, I run my 3570k@4.7ghz with an r9 280 and it does really well at 1080p. I find the overclocked cpu helps with some games. Some games scale well with cpu, like GTA V.
