Is the GTX750ti 2GB a decent match for a 3570k?

I really wanted to get an i5 but if I did I had to get a low end card like the Radeon 7770. I know that it's a really one-sided system so I decided to up my budget a bit. The next card in my budget is the 750ti. Is it a decent match for my CPU?

At this point in time the 750 Ti is still a low-end card, unfortunately. It is significantly better than a 7770, however. Not sure what kind of budget you're looking at, but if you can squeeze out a bit more the 760 is significantly better than even the 750 Ti, and the 770 is even better than that, still. If you can swing it a GTX 770 or an R9 280x is what I would go for. All that said, it really depends on what kind of games you're wanting to play.

Wow, since when is the 7770 low-end graphics card when it plays BF4 Medium-High with decent FPS? 750 TI is way overpriced, instead of nVidia you can get the R7 260X/265 and get the same performance for 120$ instead of 160$ ;)
 
I agree with the poster above. Why pay out $150-200 now if you end up having to replace it in a year anyway. I'd up your budget and look at a R9 280 or a GTX 760/770 if I were you. That way you would have a couple years before you should need another GPU upgrade.

If you have to get a card now then the 750ti is a decent option. As for a match to your CPU. Any card will run good with that chip, even most SLI/xfire setups.
 


Performance-wise, the GTX 750 Ti is just decent. You can get better deals in other cards. It does, however, have other benefits, like support for Shadowplay, Gsync, and what I consider its strongest selling point: insanely low TDP. At 60W, the GTX 750 Ti will work with any power supply, generate very little heat, and that also allows for a very small PCB that fits any case and doesn't require power cables. All that while providing playable frame rates and decent image quality.

If none of the above really matter to your setup (Eg. the card will be used in a full-atx desktop, noise and power aren't a factor, you don't really care for shadowplay nor intend to use G-Sync...), then you can probably get a better deal. The 260X is particularly attractive for its price.
