I am planning to upgrade the ati HD Radeon 5750 that came with this system 2 years ago to a gtx 770 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125462 specifically) I do have a few questions though before I actually buy the new card. Main question is if the card will be a major upgrade to my system. Here's the plan:
I want to eventually get around to building my own sweet gaming setup to play games like Crysis, Bioshock, and WoW at max setting but would like to be able to use the parts as much as possible before i finally amass the full sum of money I will need. I plan to use the 770 in my current system before moving it to the new build. Is this plan viable? ready and willing to spend ~$470
Plan to be running 3 monitors(1 23 inch(1920x1080) and 2 20inch(1600x900)) so I figured that the 4gb version of the 770 was much more optimal.
My cpu is an i7 870, will buying a new card change my system bottleneck from my gpu to my cpu?
I'm sure I'll come up with some other questions as answers come in but any help is greatly appreciated!
