I've already picked up a GTX 770 to replace my GTX 560 TI but I can't actually use it until christmas :p


Just wondering how much of a bottleneck I may be looking at from my cpu:

i7 2600S 2.8GHZ

Heres a bit more info: http://ark.intel.com/products/52215/

There's no need to worry there, your i7 is more than capable enough to take advantage of the GTX 770

The 2600s is at a lower clock speed than the regular i7 2600/k since it's intended for energy efficiency, but it's still a very capable gaming CPU with powerful single threaded performance

The only cases where your CPU will start to limit you would be with multi GPU configurations such as SLI 780s etc.
