New motherboard

Hey guys...
I want to upgrade my mobo. Because I have been advised I am bottlenecking it. My current mobo is a GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3, I am thinking of upgrading to a MSI 970 GAMING AMD 970 (SOCKET AM3+) DDR3 ATX MOTHERBOARD. Is that a wise choice or?

IF you use same CPU and Ram in the new mobo you won't see much (if at all) performance improvement all depending on where you're coming from.  Bottleneck usually is CPU/Ram or GPU.
