My build:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68MA-D2HB3
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k, 3.3 GHz
Power supply: CoolerMaster Silent Pro M700 Power supply - 700 Watt
RAM: Kingston HyperX blu DDR3, PC3-12800 (1600MHz) 8GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, 500GB
Case: cooler master: CM 690

The card I want:

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked w/ACX Cooler 3GB GDDR5 :

I'm reading that it is superclocked, wich makes me wonder if I'll need a cooling system of some sort since I only have 1 fan.


If you have suggestions for any other GPU please let me know, I do not know a lot about this stuff, but basically I want the best I can get without having to buy any additional parts (if thats posible) and around the price range of the GPU I posted, I plan to use it for gaming, GTA 5, Far Cry 4, Battlefield 4, Titanfall at 1080p, 60 FPS preferred of course but I can deal with 30+

If you only have 1 case fan you'd need at least 2. The 780ti is a great card but might be a tad overkill in your situation

I suggest you get the reference 780 ti sc and than you don't need to add anything

I own the reference Asus 780 ti, it's fantastic.

The reference cards exhaust the air out of the case.

The ACX recycles the air in the case and that's why a proper fan arrangement is more important!

Yeah, uhhh, also check out your power supply to see if it can crank the amount of amps needed on the 12v rail that you plug that beast into.

In all honesty everything else in your system will bottleneck the 780ti soooo you may want to consider upgrading all the things!

Go forth and conquer!
