This setup should be fine to run a 6/760 as long as you have a >500W PSU. I would personally go for a 760 as it pretty much matches the performance of the 670 for the same price bracket of a 660!

Go with the 750Ti, It was built from the ground up to be power efficient enough to run in an OEM PC with a 300W PSU and is no slouch with performance!

Try running Windows Update and click on optional updates. It should find a Microsoft signed driver!

quotemsg=13982872,0,1738000] It helped a lot! :) So do you think I should buy a new CPU or get the GPU? I think I would still get the 780 as I want it to last and I'm in a process of upgrading my rig. I'm planning on getting a new CPU soon. [/quotemsg] Getting a new GPU will give you a more...

This could be various things but is it actually effecting performance? if not who cares it is just a number on a screen! It could be that those games only do heavy GPU based tasks at certain intervals or maybe the monitoring software is just plain wrong.

Yes the PCI-e standard is completely backwards compatible. The only issue is that you will not get the enhanced performance from a PCI-e 2.x rail but other than that should be good to go!

1) The manufacturer of the GPU relies purely on preference e.g. EVGA often has a better looking cooler, Asus usually cools better etc so just do some research about each one. At the end of the day they are the same card so you are not going to be disappointed you went for a particular...

To put it simple yes it will bottleneck. It's safe to say that you won't be getting the most out of the card when twinned with that CPU. That being said in most systems there are bottlenecks somewhere (which is one of the biggest flaws with the x86 architecture) and people can still play games...
