LechTips · Jan 18, 2015

a celeron can run gtz 780 but with bottlenecks

my friend gave me his 780 becuase he got a 980
so i need a new cpu since i have a a10 5800k

The cheapest I would personally go for a gtx 780, would be a i5-4460 or i5-4440

Minimum, i5 Ivy bridge or Haswell. Get haswell, it's newer and will last longer.

Sandy Bridge overclocks much better

With new cpu you will need new motherboard also with that graphic card you will need new PSU a good quality one.
