I am looking to get a new gpu. It is going to be a GTX 780 OC and I was just wanting to know if my Intel 3570k would be able to handle it.

The i5 will handle any GPU(s) you throw at it. What price are you getting the 780 for?

For $350 USD you could get a brand new GTX 970.

Would you be able to send me a link for it razerZ?

That's not too bad. I'd say go for it. Just make sure your PSU will be able to handle the upgrade. If you're not sure if it can, post the model name here and I can answer that for you.

It's a cooler master 625w extreme 2

I'm not sure if I would trust that PSU with your new card. The 475W got a pretty bad review from hardware secrets and your 625W version will be no better. It can actually output a max of 575W. Poor 12V regulation and DC output caused their test system to behave erratically and there's a chance the same thing will happen to your system.

Here's their review:
