New netbook specs :3
If it isn't a bother, can I ask you guys something? Umm, would this netbook be possible for gaming? If so, what are its limits?

The limits? Games like Counter-Strike: Source, Half Life or any game released before 2010 would probably run on mediocre settings. It's actually pretty useless for gaming unless you prefer older games.

Bay Trail chips are actually pretty competent in terms of graphical performance, all things considered - and considering their thermal and power envelope. My advice? Don't try to push it, but for anything pre-2013 but post-2009, try to stay within 720p or lower, and keep settings to a minimum, and use a frame limiter (so that the CPU works just hard enough and no more, helping with the minimums by minimizing throttling). Play with the settings, but you probably won't need to hack the game itself to get usable performance. This is assuming that we're targeting just 20 or 30 FPS average, mind you.

(These chips are actually just competent enough to play Crysis, if barely, at 720p.)

The 960 will definitely be an improvement over the 750 Ti, but not SO much. The 960 is basically a revamped and improved 760. The 750 Ti is in the same line of a HD 7790 to 7850, and the 960 is a little faster than a 7950/R9 280 so maybe you should save some more money and go for a 970 or a 280X from AMD.

I've been thinking about the 970 for a while now.

I built a new computer! Well, I had a friend do most of the work, and I was with a budget, but here's what I have:

Wow you build is pretty similar to mine.

Amd 8350
Nvidia 970
16GB Ram
1x500GB SSD
2x1TB HDD

Built a new computer using some parts from my old one. CPU, RAM and Blu Ray drive is from the old hp tower. I have a new motherboard (MSI P55-CD53), GPU (Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB), case (Corsair 100r) and boot drive (120GB Sandisk SSD). Added a new cooler, my cpu idles at 40c and reaches 70c in a stress test.

Okay, here's mine.
