I'm 15 and my dad promised me a gtx 970 but now he's telling me that i have to wait until march 2016, I currently have an i5 4690 with 8gb of 1600mhz ram a 1tb hdd and a 450w psu which I will probably upgrade to 750w. My question is will my cpu be obselete by then and will it bottleneck the upcoming nvidia pascal gtx 970 successor since even the skylake processors are out?
 
Solution
It won't bottleneck 99% of games if you are at 1080p or above. At least if you wait you will have full VRAM and not 3.5GB. A good 600W PSU would be enough, something like the 'EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2'.
