It's possible you might lag in certain games. Consider upgrading to something better than a 970. A i5-6600 with a 390X would be ideal, or a Fury for better GPU performance—though it will cost about $40 more. If you stick with the CPU, switching to a 390 is still a good idea since it's faster and cheaper. I don't suggest AMD GPUs right now; Nvidia doesn’t offer competitive options at those prices except the GTX 980, which is too expensive.
