I have AMD FX-6300, Gigabyte HD7790 2 GB, Kingston HyperX 4 GB, ASUS M5A97 LE2.0, XFX PRO550w, I'm looking for upgrade just CPU, GPU and motherboard to Intel and Nvidia, my budget is around 600€ (less if possible). I want to play any recent games in 1080p with stable framrate.
I saw I5-4690k, Asrock FATAL1TY B85 KILLER and Gf Gv-n970wf3-4gd but are a bit too much expensive.
If u can, please, give me prices in euro, i'm from italy. Cheers. (sry for bad english)

Games are getting more graphically intensive so the GPU gains you the most performance as long the CPU is adequate.

The AMD Radeon R9 390X and Radeon R9 390 are closest in performance to a GeForce GTX 970. The Radeon R9 390X is much more expensive than the Radeon R9 390 but the performance difference doesn't justify the price increase.

With a GeForce GTX 970 that takes up most of the budget you don't have much remaining budget to work with:
