Hi, Im thinking about buying the GTX 780ti. I dont know much about building computers, but I know how to install a new gpu. Do I have to upgrade anything else before buying it?

SPECS:
HIS Radeon HD 7870
Intel Core i5-3470
Kingston ValueR 8GB
XFX Pro Series 550W
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Motherboard: MSI B75MA-P45, Socket-1155

The CPU won't bottleneck, and the the 780ti reqs. minimum 550 watts. So he's good to go.

Go for it your cpu wont bottleneck as many has said and are you gaming at 1080p or 1440p? Either way the gpu will smoke threw 95% of the games thats out there..Crysis 3/Metro last light being an exception
