Older socket, pairing non-K CPU with unlocked MB, could grab a GTX 1060 for the same price as the 970 and its much faster. What is your budget?

This should be around the same price and gaming performance would be much better.

If you can afford more I would go with a better case and put a 240gb Sandisk SSD in there for the OS and maybe a game with long loading screens.
