your current cpu will be holding back that gpu.

Hi
For "serious gaming" you may need
serious CPU
serious RAM
serious PSU
serious SSD
or serious 2x GTX 780 .......

i hope you get my point
It`s about the GAME and GAME Experience you`r after ...... 1080p on Ultra High Settings or 5760 x 1080 on Ultra Settings is compleatly different story ......

 

[renz496]

the best gpu you can get with your current cpu is GTX650 or HD7750. go higher you will need better cpu

 

[Rahul Nebhnani]

oh okay
so what cpu should i go with
an intel i5 or i7
and my other components are
[
corsair 16 GB ram (1600mhz)
nvidia geforce gtx 780 2gb
a 1 tb 10000 rpm hard drive of any manufacturer
]

i5 is OK but i7 is better if you have extra cash
PSU is about the GPU you have - on GTX 780 the 700W is OK and 750 ; 800 ; 850 ... more is advised it will run cooler with less heat .......
16 GB is what you never need more if you GAME only ...... maybe if you use Virtualisation YES ....
About HDD i advise you to go for SSD - Samsung Evo have 120 , 256, 512 , 750 and 1 TB SSD models .... pick what ever you like regarding the price
HDD as storage and GAME files storage is OK ....... if you intend to game choose 7200 RPM HDD .......
