So I recently built my own computer. I was wondering if when, or IF, i should purchase a GTX 780. I currently have a GTX 660, and was wondering if I bought a GTX 780, would I see an increase in performance? Also, would my I5-4570 bottleneck the GTX 780 at all?

TL;DR: Should I upgrade my GTX 660 to GTX 780 if i have a I5-4570?

The gtx780 kills the gtx 660 in every way including price (alot more money.) If you are in the mood for an upgrade go for it but if you are running your games at decents fps then I wouldnt bother personally. As for the 4570 bottlenecking, you have to be joking, that chip could handle gtx780s in quad sli without issue.

I have a friend who wants to buy my GTX 660 from me, so that means a cheaper GTX 780 for me :). But on games like Crysis 3, how much of a change will i be seeing from GTX 660 to GTX 780?

Also, I'm still learning, so I was just making sure my CPU wouldn't be doing any bottlenecking.
