MSI TF GTX770 help

[HUgo13]

Hi, im still new to the master race and wanted to know if an i5-4670k with a GTX 770 will run most of my games at a steady 60FPS on ultra settings on a single 1080p tv? should I save for a 780 or is that overkill?

No, the 770 can't handle all current games on ultra in 1080p at 60fps. The most demanding games like Far Cry 3, Crysis 3 and the next gen games drop a bit below that. If you have the money, get a 780 at a good price ($490-520) and you will be future proof for more time. If you don't, get a 770, because it is a freaking good card

^ What are you talking about.
I own i5-4670k and MSI GTX 770 4GB TF and I run BF4 max setting with well above 70+ fps.

Far Cry 3, Crysis 3 and AC IV are more demanding than BF4 -.-

would I have to upgrade my Corsair Enthusiast 850W 80+ Bronze C PSU for the 780?

Oh and would the 4670k bottleneck the 780?

No, you won't, that PSU is more than enough for the 780, you could even SLI with it.
And no, the i5 4670k won't bottleneck the 780. In fact, that's the best CPU you can get if you're only going to play. If you're going to render/edit though, you should consider the i7 4770k.
