evening guys
just wanted your opinions on what would be the best upgrade for my system.
what is the best possible gpu that i can run with my psu and cpu without causing a bottleneck.
also i know i have a cpu which has severly limited overclocking capabilities.but i am aware that i can raise the base clock a bit and get it to run at 4ghz.would i be able to do this with my current cpu cooler and still get reasonable temps.
my specs are:
ASUS® P8Z77-V LX
i5 3550
12 gb ddr3 ram
ocz zs 550w psu
Titan TTC-Nk34TZ/R/V2 cpu cooler

That CPU wont bottleneck any single GPU,and you really dont need to overclock it for gaming, not that you can XD,and raising base clock is generally a bad idea, and can cause system instability, so i wont recommend doing so, also because it will barely affect ur gaming performence( maybge 1-3 more frames at most). but iam using a base clock overclock to be honest, so dont listen to me XD
take a look at that, http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_770_sli_review,4.html , they said that 550w psu is defeintly enough for a gtx 770, and seeing how the 770 is the best high end bang for bucks gpu, thats my suggestion, but knowing your budget will be good =P

not really sure how prices translate to euros, but if theres any logic, then you can defeintly get a 400$ gtx 770,which is again, really the best choice ATM, i cant tell you wether is worth waiting for the next gen, simply because idk, if you dont mind waiting, then obviously waiting will be the smartest thing to do, because prices drop when rival companies release gpus.
