I will surely take that advice - was just wondering how much over clocking mattered as opposed to stock on the 3770k.

Yep, getting SSD. I guess I'll go for Z77 then, thanks for replying.

If I do get the 690, is there anything in the other parts of the system that definitely need upgrading to make the best out of the 690: Motherboard: Intel H77 Chipset CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K Quad Core CPU, 3.5GHz Cooling: Intel original cooling with heatsink Ram: 8GB (2 x 4GB) Dual...

Will start off using my 1080p monitor but in a few months will definitely go to 1440p or more to make use of the GPU. Will consider titan thanks, though I cant get it for anywhere near as good a deal for it as the 690 where I am.

Alright, makes sense I'll do that. In this case, Bofox, is it even worth going for the 690 at this point in time? As opposed to a 680. I suppose there is still a good benefit even with the stock 3770k between these 2 cards?

Right, good point. Just wanted to make sure if I am spending money on the expensive 690 that I make the most of it in every possible way.

Thanks for the reply. Is this good enough -8GB (2 x 4GB) Dual Channel DDR3 PC-12800 (1600MHz)? or should I upgrade to DDR3 1600MHz with Heatsink. I only want to spend extra on that which is absolutely neccessary to actually see a difference in gaming, not a cent more.

Will an i7 3770k not overclocked (@ 3.5ghz - and with limited overclocking capabilities as its with a H77 motherboard) in any way bottleneck a single GTX 690? Basically will overclocking make a difference to fps in gaming (including high resolutions and cpu intense games). I want to know if...
