Hi guys for the stupid question, but will my i7 3770 bottleneck gtx 980??? if not, will there be a big difference if I change to K version and OC it for gaming? or should I stick with it instead?

thanks!

My i7 3770 works great with my GTX 780, so a GTX 980 should be fine.

The i7 will not bottleneck the GTX 980 AT ALL! Most of the time the i7 will not outperform the i5, I still don't know why... maybe the game don't optimize hyperthreading... :p 

But you will not notice these couple frames drops in real life test

Nah, stock ivy's i5 and i7 cpus can easily deal with a 980, they maybe will struggle at stock speeds with three cards, but one is a breeze.
