Hey guys i am considering to upgrade only my gpu and psu for my current pc which is a k320 Lenovo. it has a i7 870 cpu, L-IIBXM v1 motherboard, 8gb ram, and i playing on a 1080p led single monitor but i may get a 120hz 1080p monitor in the summer/fall. Looking to buy either a gtx 770 or 780 or even waiting for the 8xx series if it hopefully the price of those will be similar to 770/780. Idk if my cpu will bottleneck 780 other betters ones (Maxwell). Anyway my budget is pretty much the price of a gtx 780 since i am planning on buying a psu with that and also maybe a case and ssd. however, if the jump between the 770 to 780 is not worth the extra money then i rather not go that far. I play games such as WoW, hearthstone, Diablo, Southpark, and looking forward for games such as titanfall, dark souls 2, dragon age, elder scrolls and few others. Also, I do not want to SLI so at all because i am not the one that pay the bills at my house and prefer a single gpu. Thanks!!

yea does suck about the games deal but if you wait a few weeks they should come back with new offers. thats usually how it works anyway. they will run with game offers then take a few weeks off then run with new game offer. im thinking the new game may be titanfall as well. its a possibility

i7 870 shouldnt bottleneck a 770/780, you can check performance bench marks here

you can see in various games the difference in fps and judge if it is worth the price for you.
if you do not want to sli (cant with your mobo) then i would suggest going with the 780 as games are going to become more demanding and 2 years from now you might need the performance gain. i would wait if you can until the 8xx series is released to see the performance gain on those cards.
