I want to buy Call Of Duty Ghosts to play on ultra settings but currently I'm having a bad CPU and a bad GPU. So for christmas I will buy a Geforce GTX 780 GPU and then buy a Intel Core i7 CPU later on (January/Februay 2014). Can I install the GTX 780 on december and play with it until I get a new CPU or will my currently CPU bottleneck it?

Specs:
Currently using CPU:
GPU: AMD A-10 APU 5700-SERIES (3.4 GHz)
Ram: 16 GB
OS: Windows 8.1

That CPU will bottleneck a single high end GPU.

The good news is the CPU matters less with BF3/4. GPU in crossfire or SLI with a CPU strong enough to push it will work well.

If you rebuild, I suggest at least an i5 4760k or FX 6350 for a single GPU.

For crossfire or SLI, an i7 4670k or FX 8350.

If you can, put a good cooler on the CPU and overclock it a bit. This will help.
