Im thinking of buying this graphics card..

http://www.zotac.com/products/graphics-cards/geforce-70...

Im curious as to whether my system for one can actually take the graphics card (PSU and mobo), and also whether there will be bottleneck?

My specs are as follows;

Geforce GTX 670 2gb DDR5 - GPU
Intel i5 3.4ghz quad core 4670k - CPU (Not overclocked, overclocks to 3.8ghz according to the box :p  )
8GB Corsair DDR3 Vengeance - RAM
Asus Z87-PRO, Intel Z87, S 1150 - Motherboard
650W Corsair Enthusiast Series 650T - Power supply
1TB Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda - HDD (if relevant)


Also i'd like to apologise, i feel like I'm spamming the forums. I just want to thoroughly research before I spend a big chunk of money :) .

Your PSU is fine, and your i5 is not going to even come close to bottle-necking the 780. Some games in the future (hopefully in another year or two) might really start to use more then 2 cores, but thats a road that you can cross when you get there.

I absolutely love this card, Preforms like a beast and stays quite and cool. 23C Idle and 55-58C gaming.
