Hey everyone, I have a question due to still being semi noob to PC building. I'm contemplating upgrading my GTX 680 to a 980 and I'm wondering if my current i7 4770k CPU will bottleneck it or cause any issues? I'm running 16GB of RAM, 850w PSU, on an ASUS Sabertooth Z77 mobo, and plenty of room in a large case, does anyone foresee any issues with my rig after I upgrade?
 
Solution
That 4770K you have is just about the fastest gaming CPU on the planet. It at least keeps up with, and in many cases outperforms the $1000, 8 Core 5960K.

You could run 2 980s without issues on that CPU.
