I want to buy a pc and I want to be able to upgrade the pc with a gtx 780 ti. The pentium will run at about 4.6ghz. If it cant handle it without bottlenecking it alot, then will the i5 4690k be better. If the gaming perfomance is not a huge difference (under 10 fps) then I will take the pentium.

You need at least an I5 to get all out of the 780Ti especially when we talk about newer CPU intensive games.

I agree with rolli. Here are some benchmarks for you to take a look at that has both processors in them. The card used in the tests is a TITAN which is a smidge slower than the 780 ti.

Most of these tests range from 5 to 15 fps differences with a few games showing no difference at all.

edit: Also keep in mind that the 4690k is not overclocked in these benchmarks.

i5-4690k will handle GTX 780Ti with no problems. With 2 GTX 780Ti, you might want to overclock the CPU, so to eliminate any bottlenecks

Exactly basically tells us which games are CPU intensive.

I agree with the above but only $70 to try it out, go for it and report back. Get a decent Z97 motherboard and you can always put in a better CPU later.

If you don't care about a 10fps difference why go for a 780ti in the first place? Save 200 bucks and grab a normal 780.

Might as well go with a r9 290x then. I can understand taking a 780ti, but a normal one doesn't make sense to me.

I agree about the 290x, I said 780 since I figured he wanted some of nvidias features. He also didn't mention anything about switching over to an AMD gpu so I figured it was off the table.

That was my thought process atleast.

Or an R9 290.
