What cpu is best for a gtx 970?
The ASUS ROG STRIX B360-H works well with an i5-8600K and 970, but ensure compatibility with your specific setup.
I can't afford a 1080 right now, so I'm just searching for something that will last until then.
Yes, you have already bought that motherboard.
No, I don't have that information.
It’s wise to look at @Fasauceome’s projects; they provide strong benefits and improved upgrade potential for the future.
