    I5 with 770 or 780

    Well cannot return for refund, so guess I am stuck with the GTX 770 4gb. Now I am currently running a Radeon 4850 (playing Titanfall, Watch Dogs) so if I see any improvement I think I'll be happy :)

    I5 with 770 or 780

    thanks for all the information and help. After double checking it looks like I had my numbers little wrong and the 780 is $110 more, I believe I was originally looking at a 780 refurb which is not available now. With that, I ended up with a 770 4gb and the I5-4690 3.5ghz. I save little and...

    I5 with 770 or 780

    My cpu is a Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 I can get a 4gb GTX 770 or a GTX 780 for about $50 more. Question is it worth it. Would my cpu bottleneck the 780? I will be provided playing Titanfall and Watch dogs at 1920x1080 or if I can 2560x1440 Thanks for any help :)

    2560 x 1440 - video card ideas

    My current plan is to go with a GTX 780 as my mATX case is setup for single gpu. Will that be enough to game, mainly fps Titanfall..etc at 2560 x 1440 resolution? Should I go with the 780Ti instead or maybe duel GTX770's, I prefer single gpu if possible. However I have never ran at that...

    Asus Gryphon mATX and Zalman cooler

    Thanks for the reply. I typically just stick to 1 gpu, however I just purchased a new monitor that will run 2560 x 1440. Going to post some questions in the video section. I did look at the ITX, but the case I chose has lots of fans and can move some good air around which is what I needed.
