I have Phenom x6 1100t right now. Will it be a good idea to buy gtx 780ti with this cpu? Or it's a much better idea to get gtx 780 jetstream + i5-4570. I need it for gaming. Thanks.

Better get an I5. Phenom's weak single threaded performance will bottleneck GTX780ti.If you are low on budget then get 290x with an i5.A better deal overall.

Overclocking wouldn't do any good even @ 7Ghz lol, it will bottleneck the 780ti.
 


please don't make the 1100t look so bad....it can still run most games for sure if not all

It can run any game maxed out with a decent GPU. BUT it wouldn't be able to utilize the full power of GTX 780 Ti, this is the most powerful card on the market.
