Hi there,

I'm planing to upgrade my graphics card to a GTX780. But i'm not sure if i'm going to have any problems with my current build.

My current build is as follows:

- MSI Z68A-GD65
- core i5 2500K 1155 6MB 3.3Ghz
- MSI GTX570 1280
- Kingston HyperX 8B 1600Mhz
- XFX ATX Core Edition 80+ 750W

Also i'm not really sure what version of the 780 to get. Do you guys think something like this: http://www.evga.com/articles/00830/ is worth waiting for? The PC is only for gaming at 1920x1080 and i never did overclock my current GPU and would only do it in the 780 if i get get a huge gain.

Get from EVGA, or ASUS.

Sorry didn't read the whole question lol. I am very happy with my card. It'll kick the crap outta everything on max settings with 60 fps. Save for like Crysis 3 but that doesn't count. The 6GB would only be worth it if you are doing dev work or wanting to play across three screens.

Even 3GB is still good to play with 3 monitors, my 780 ti was playing bf4 ultra 40-50 fps. But good idea to op for the 6gb to last longer.
