Can I install a Titan with my current specs?

[computer_phil]

I'd like to upgrade to a Titan but I wanted to get the community's opinion and see if my current rig could handle one without other upgrades.

UPDATE: I am looking purely to increase my FPS with current games and future-proof for next-gens

My current specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-4690K Processor (4x 3.50GHz/6MB L3 Cache)

RAM: Corsair 8 GB [4 GB X2] DDR3-1600

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H -- 1x PCIe 3.0 x16, 4x USB 3.0, 6x SATA-III 6Gb/s

Power: 700W OCZ ModXStream Pro

Current GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 - 2GB - EVGA Superclocked

Thank you for your help!

Yes it can but why a Titan?

I agree, should work fine, and also echo the curiosity on your decision to get a titan?

Yes it can but why a Titan?

The huge gains in FPS of current games compared to the 770, as well as my desire to future-proof for next gens has peaked my interest in it.

Yeah, but why waste the money on titan? Sure it can game but a gtx 780 ti superclocked can be every bit as good as the titan for gaming.

You know the GTX 780Ti will probably be enough for most people on a single 1080p monitor.
Plus it's probably best for you to wait for the gTX 800 series.

I've looked into the 780 but not 780 ti. I suppose I will do that per your recommendation. Do you think I'd be able to run 780 ti SLI with my current rig?

770 to titan is close to a lateral upgrade, unless you mean a titan black, but even then a 780 ti would be an equivalent upgrade for less, in most situations. I'd imagine going from 770 to titan would give you 5-7% fps and titan black/780 ti 12-15%, unless you are being capped by Vram, you didn't list your display solution so its not possible to tell.

I don't think I'd recommend upgrading from a 770 at the moment, maxwell is coming in the next 6 months and you have a current gen card.

Regarding to your SLI question, your motherboard doesn't support it.

Also, the gtx titan is $1000 where as the faster 780 ti is only $750, kind of a no brainer for gaming.

oh I thought you were looking at titan black. The gtx 780 ti is faster than the gtx titan, since all of it's cores are enable where the gtx titan has a couple of cores disabled.

What is your display solution? You are looking into gpu configurations that will not be doing anything for you at 1080p/60hz since the 770 is completely capable of running that at full settings in basically every game (you might need to knock textures down a notch occasionally because of the 2gb vram)

Sure you will get huge fps gains, but will you really notice it? The 770 is already future proof for a couple of years, why not just wait until you will actually need a better graphics card.
