Do you currently have the GTX 760 or is that what you are looking at possibly getting?

You can run the 780 and it isn't likely to bottleneck on anything other than games that even the newest CPUs struggle with at high or ultra settings. Even then, you could drop down to medium settings if you find it's having trouble but for most titles you should be fine.
