If you Can raise your budget by $30 then this:

WIth that budget i would go for the 280x

markaflias :

I did look on that site and no 280x for under $300. and at the same price I think the 770 is a better card.

i would also think about upgrading that cpu if i were you.

azzazel_99 :

Why? The i5 2500 is still top tier gaming CPU

To the OP: You can overclock your CPU by 4 bins on your Z68 board, even though you dont have the K model.

my 2500k at stock clock pegs 90%-99% when gaming bf4 and i get lag. I have to overclock it before it stops pegging 90-99% usage. Its a great cpu if its overclocked but at stock clocks and running games at ultra it struggles.

Thanks a lot for your help... I also consider to buy the gtx 770, could you please assure me that my motherboard and cpu support this new generation GPU? and what about my Power Supply. Will I have any bottleneck or any incompatibility?

I just want to buy 100% sure because it's an international shipping and I don't want any room for mistake...

Appreciate your advise

azzazel_99 · Feb 5, 2014

yea you will be ok. I run a 780ti with my i5-2500k so your current setup should be fine.

heavenly2011 · Feb 5, 2014

I will buy the new card next week... Thanks so much for your help... Appreciate the support !

azzazel_99 :

To be fair, thats just one game. For the vast vast majority the 2500 is more than enough.

azzazel_99 · Feb 5, 2014

Lol any new game is going to beat the 2500 to death at stock clocks. Its a good processor but its no 4670k or 3770k even

RobCrezz · Feb 5, 2014

azzazel_99 :

Any proof for that?

Even BF 4 plays perfectly acceptably on a 2500. And even though the Ops is a non "k", you can still clock it 4 bins higher.

I agree with RobCrezz. Your gpu is more of a factor at this point. All things equal (same gpu) then of course the cpu upgrade will help but the guy is already on a 200-300 budget. What's he supposed to do, upgrade the cpu and stick with the 560ti? I think he'd be way happier upgrading to a 770 now and yeah, when the next 300 comes in then consider upgrading the cpu. That would be another thread. Let's keep it simple. Have fun with your new card whatever you choose!
