I'd get a 4gb 960 and 32gb ram if that mobo can handle it (ddr4 on that mobo?). Don't cheap out and get low latency ram. CPU matters very little in comparison to gpu, ram, ssd. How are your partitions set up? What windows are you running? At 1080p you're good for a few years, a 4gb 960 will be more than enough for a good while at 1080p. Witcher 3 runs around 45-50fps at max. Recommend heavy optimization through minimizing unnecessary services and running driverbooster. Ultra shadows are the most resource draining least necessary gfx options. (Not insinuating you don't know this but it's the basics just in case). NCIX, Amazon.ca, PCPartPicker, memoryexpress cross correlate prices. A 970 won't get much better results if you optimize it well, probably shouldn't spend too much and save up for a $900-1400 pascal in the future. Good luck.
