I understand you're unsure about these terms, but would a Phenom II X4 955 cause an issue with a GTX 970 (4GB RAM)? It seems like you're wondering if it's a suitable pairing.
Absolutely, that works well. It’s the only option available, and both EOLs were around at the time. This could create a bottleneck for that card—any platform other than Intel would be better.
The Phenom II would run slightly quicker than the pre-eye 7. A noticeable jump between generations. Early i7 and higher will likely hit 4.6ghz with good air cooling. For those wanting options, a budget of 2700K to 4790K could be reasonable. If you're aiming for newer tech, investing in a first-gen Ryzen setup might offer better value. A B450 board running DDR4, fast SATA M.2 and USB support would provide ample upgrade potential.
