GTX970 is your first purchase, don't get any other graphics card, work out your budget after that then build around it, Intel i5's are decent priced, so a core i5 with a motherboard that it will slot into, check if the RAM from your current rig will fit, if not, 8Gb minimum, your hard drive from your current system will fit so you can continue to use that, so really if you cannibalise your current system you just need motherboard/cpu/possibly ram and the VGA, but nothing other than a GTX970.

So instead of being flexible about his budget (which OP hasn't provided yet), you go out and say that they NEED to buy a $320 USD graphics card. And then you say that a $200 USD i5. If OP is pretty much anywhere except the US, then those prices are going to be more expensive. Lets wait until we hear OP's budget before we jump the gun.

Not to mention the OP doesn't need a GTX970 to play this game on Maximum. However, this is me assuming that this will be the only game they play.
